Margaux

Château La Gurgue, situated in the Margaux appellation of Bordeaux, has a rich history of producing wines that reflect the elegance and complexity characteristic of the region. The 1971 vintage, while overshadowed by the exceptional 1970, was considered very good, yielding wines that have aged gracefully over the decades. ​


Specific tasting notes for the 1971 Château La Gurgue are scarce, making it challenging to provide detailed insights into its current profile. However, given the general quality of the 1971 vintage in Bordeaux, it's plausible that well-preserved bottles may exhibit tertiary aromas such as leather, tobacco, and earthy notes, with softened tannins and a harmonious palate. …

Vintage Port

From the excellent 1970 vintage, the Calem has a dense, even, opaque crimson colour, with a very rich, dark well of black fruit and floral aromas, with all sorts of mineral and delicately spicy nuances. On the palate this has a beautifully focused sweetness, with a supple, svelte quality of black fruits, that is pure and very long and silky through the mid palate. There are fine chocolaty tannins adding plush depth, and the spirit is nicely integrated. This wine has lovely balance too, with excellent length, emphasising the harmony and structure of the wine.

Bekaar Valley, Lebanon, Gaston Hochar
Very top shoulder 73 cl bottle

A rare bottle of 1970 Chateau Musar.
Notes from Chateau Musar: Mistakenly, the most Bordeaux wine I ever made. This was unintentional. I was trying to reflect Lebanon in all its guises, all its
aspects. It had more Cabernet Sauvignon than any wine I’ve ever made, but this was when I could play as I wanted - there were no
rules to command me, so I just blended according to my palate – Serge Hochar

Tasting Notes
Dark shaded ruby; this is just the sort of colour I would expect from a 1970 red Bordeaux. Light, very Cabernet nose. If I were given
this blind I would be extremely tempted to head straight for Bordeaux, though it would have to be a comely château such as Palmer
perhaps, and a fairly ripe vintage. …

Cockburn, 1970
Vintage Port

The legendary 1970 vintage is widely regarded as one of Cockburn’s last great “classic” productions before stylistic changes later in the decade. Now over half a century old, it shows the remarkable longevity and depth that made Cockburn a benchmark house for robust, fruit-driven Vintage Port with a distinctive wild-berry character. Time has softened the once-powerful structure, replacing youthful muscle with refinement, harmony, and aromatic complexity.

In the glass, the wine displays a deep tawny-garnet core with a lifted, mature nose of fig, cedar, rose oil, dried cherry, and warm spices. …

Vintage Port

From the outstanding 1970 Vintage, an wonderful port scoring 91 points.

A similar russet core, though a little clearer than the ’66. The nose has good definition and focus with an attractive bouquet of cooked meats, mulberry, spice and leather. Light and feminine, although it never really develops the nuance that I was hoping for in the glass. The palate is vigorous, note quite as elegant as the ’66, a little more alcoholic and unrefined, the finish more linear with liquorice, burnt toffee and raisin. Moderate length. Drinking now. Very fine. Neil Martin. Wine Journal.

Rating 91 points (Wine Journal). …

Coronas Gran Reserva, Catalonia

The 1970 Torres Gran Coronas Gran Reserva, also known as the “Black Label,” is a landmark Spanish wine that helped redefine the potential of Cabernet Sauvignon in Spain.

Composed of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Tempranillo, and 10% Monastrell, the 1970 vintage was the first to carry the Black Label designation. The grapes were fermented in stainless steel tanks—a pioneering move in Spain at the time—and aged for six months in new American oak followed by a year in older barrels. …

Vintage Port
Plain label

Gould Campbell Vintage Port 1970 is a bit of a hidden gem among vintage Ports. While Gould Campbell may not be as widely known as the likes of Taylor, Graham, or Dow, it has long enjoyed a loyal following for producing traditionally styled, full-bodied Ports with excellent ageing potential — and the 1970 vintage is no exception.

The 1970 vintage overall is considered a landmark year, producing Ports with great concentration, structure, and longevity. Gould Campbell’s 1970 fits this profile well, typically offering a deep ruby-garnet color that has softened with age. On the nose, expect rich aromas of dark cherries, raisins, dried figs, tobacco, and warm spices like clove and cinnamon. …

Vintage Port

Robertson Bros were the shippers behind this brand, which was once one of the most reputable, though, since a fine 1970, very little Vintage Port bears the name.

**92 points Wine Spectator**

Drink it alone for dessert. It is like a delicious piece of fruitcake. Medium red, with a roasted, chocolate, earthy nose, medium-bodied, with plenty of tannins and roasted, fruity flavours on the palate. Will improve. (1989)
