这些收获让辛明顿家族在波特酒总产量上的比例从16%上升到20%,他们的葡萄园面积也达到了近1000公顷,也确保考克伯恩避免落入其主要的竞争对手Taylor Fladgate Partnership 之手。但问题是,守着一堆令人失望的近年份的波特酒,辛明顿家族也的确不太清楚要怎么做才能让考克伯恩的年份波特酒恢复到全盛时期的好品质。
Hence the recent retrospective tasting of Cockburn’s most admired vintage ports, tactfully omitting the disappointing recent years but starting with bottles from the small trial of undeclared 1977 that the Oporto team could not help making, way back to the famous 1896 vintage. Several dozen of us from all over Europe gathered in the Factory House in a valiant attempt to help the current generation of five Symington cousins to discern the style of wine they should aim for in future vintages.
因此,最近的回顾品鉴会都呈现的是考克伯恩最赞的年份波特酒,从最古老的1896年份,一直到当时波尔图团队并未参与酿造的少量未公布的1977年份,巧妙地回避了口碑不尽如人意的近年份产品。我们几十位来自欧洲各地的专业人士齐聚酒庄,希望能帮助辛明顿家族的第五代鉴别什么样的风格才是他们在未来的年份酒上需要努力的方向。
The Symingtons were all a bit nervous in advance of this “voyage of discovery because none of them had tasted any Cockburn older than 1950, but they need not have worried. I’d been lucky enough to enjoy a slightly similar retrospective tasting put on in London in the 1980s and the 1908 was every bit as glorious as I remembered it.
