Special reserve is a vintage character port, intended to reflect a shipper's vintage port style. Fruity and full-bodied quality, combined with a fine dry finish..Best after a mellow lunch or dinner when laughter and conversation are flowing. Cockburn's Special Reserve is always the perfect guest. We recommend serving at room temperature or slightly cool in warmer weather. There's no need to decant Special Reserve, it pours from the bottle the way we intended you to enjoy it.
