1970 Vintage Report
Italian: 1970 was an outstanding vintage for the wine regions of Tuscany and Piedmont. The 1970 vintage produced rich, structured, full bodied wines that are still drinking well today.
Bordeaux: An outstanding vintage against which others are compared. The 1970 vintage is the best vintage between the outstanding years of 1961 and 1982. Perfect weather led to huge crop that set a record at the time but was also of a high quality across all regions. The wines generally have a dark colour, are fragrant, have full body and a richness of fruit. The wines produced are consistent and will continue to drink well for decades to come.
Port: A classic Vintage that was declared by all the major port houses. The port-wines have great balance, good structure, and will age superbly for decades to come. 1970 is one of the finest Port vintages for the last 50 years.

Vintage Port (SAVE £10 Was £129.95 now £119.95
Description: Reviews: Sweet, voluptuous bouquet. Coffee and cinnamon tastes. So beautifully balanced and elegant. Stunningly poised. A 1970 like this is sheer perfection and exactly what great, mature Vintage Port should be. Serena Sutcliffe , CUISINE & WINE ASIA 2008 VOLUME 12 01/01/2008 “Exceptionally deep crimson with remarkably little evolution and few orangey hints. Very lively, even a hint of orange peel. Lots of concentration and life. Quite animal too. Very sweet and impressive with a great combination of richness and structure. This is serious wine with a serious future. Long and well balanced”. Jancis Robinson , www.jancisrobinson.com 01/01/2004 “Youthful looking dark, vibrant purplish-ruby colour with enticing mint, licorice and raspberry fruit intertwined on the nose and palate. The '70 Dow is still on the upswing and the structure depicts that this VP will only continue its fine evolution and actually improve. Great depth of flavours and a streak of tobacco leaf barely perceptible on the unbelievably lengthy finish”. Roy Hersh , Roy's Port Wine Cellar Reduction Party 01/01/2004 “1970 produced some truly great wines which are only just ready to broach. Dow and Graham fall into this category and must rank among the 20th century’s great vintage ports”. Richard Mayson , Decanter Magazine 01/12/2001

Vintage Port
Description: “Very serious wine, still challenging, with almonds, figs and prunes, all dribbled with bittersweet chocolate. Warm and embracing…”. Dorothy Gaiter and John Brecker , The Wall Street Journal 03/02/2006 “Gloriously vibrant wet violets nose. What a marvellous mouthful of sweet, voluptuous roses and raisins. Superb – and so youthful”. Serena Sutcliffe , Sotheby’s Catalogue 17/07/2002 "…sweet, full-bodied, rich, almost too rich, yet not overpowering, with the perfect weight and balance I expect from Warre at its best." Michael Broadbent , Vintage Wine 01/01/2002

Calissano
Description: Very aged on the nose, with dried fruits, plums and raisins wed to a dusty, earthy funkiness, some meaty notes, lovely spicy anise tones, plenty of flowers and a little peaty smoke. Not that much tar or roses, but there was a little whiff of dried Italian herbs at the edges. Palate was still very fresh, with lots of acid, and structured by firm, fine tannins. Very charming flavours here - lovely dried fruit, dried plums, dark cherries, a touch of raisins and plenty of orange peel. Finish was just starting to dry out a little, but still had a nice kumquat, plum and orange peel nuance to it, along with just that little hint of tar.
