"Cockburn Small production. Considered a light vintage at the time. Up until this vintage, Cockburn were very sparing
with the number of vintages they declared: '27, '35 - not the '45 - and then the '47. Several notes in the mid-1960s. Slightly variable, depending on bottler rather than condition. Attractive and ready in 1971; a somewhat odd, medicinal smell and taste with rather high, prickly acidity in 1980. A decade later despite crumbly cork, a good tawny colour, fairly heavy crust or sediment; soft barley-sugar nose which developed lovely powdery vanilla fragrance. Fairly sweet, nice weight, flesh, flavour and balance. Dry, liquorice finish. Attractive. Next, in 1999, with Cockburn label Palish but lovely colour; fragrant bouquet; medium-sweet and correct weight and 'waxy' flavour. Good fruit though fading gracefully, Most recently: fairly pale, with red though pink/red highlights; pure liquorice,harmonious, well evolved; firm, good flavour and flesh, smooth texture, dry finish, delicious aftertaste. *** M Broadbent

A note from Maurice Symington of the Symington Port Group, which owns the well known names as W&J Graham Vintage Port, Dow Vintage Port and Warre Vintage Port, stated "The wines took plenty of work, colour was excellent and there seems every reason to suppose that the 1947's will turn out very well."
