1970 Wine and Port Vintage

Barsac

A wonderful fruity dessert wine from the 1970 vintage that is still drinking well.

Château Liot is a 20-hectare property producing on average 5,500 cases per year. It is located in the south-west of the Barsac appellation and its vineyards border those of Château Climens. Liot's vineyards (Sémillon 85%, Sauvignon Blanc 10%, Muscadelle 5%) lie on a gravel/silt/alluvial topsoil and limestone subsoil.
The grapes are fermented in vats and the wine is then matured in oak barrels (15% new) for 15-18 months. Liot's wines are typically fresh and refined and display marvellous purity of fruit.

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. …

Patriarche Pere & Fils

The red wines of Chateauneuf-du-Pape blossom and reach their prime between their third and fifth year, but their potential for aging is over ten years and more according to the vintage and storage conditions. Their color changes from intense garnet-purple in the early years to ruby after some cellaring. These wines are structured, with powerful and complex aromas of ripe fruit, mushrooms, truffles, underbrush, spicy notes, and wild animals.

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.

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. Produced in the Penedès region by Miguel A. Torres, this vintage was pivotal in establishing Spain’s international reputation for fine red wines.

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. …

Nacional- Vintage Port

“This wine is a mysterious phenomenon, a magical wine produced in extremely limited quantities and only in a few years each decade. It is the expression of a terroir and confirms something that is for me a deeply held belief. The Nacional is great because of the grapes and where they come from, not because of anything particular that we do. It has a unique personality, an extraordinary intensity and, even after many years of ageing, retains an astonishing youthfulness.” Christian Seely

The terroir: a small area at the heart of the Quinta do Noval vineyard planted with ungrafted vines and untouched by phylloxera, described as “attached to the soil of the Nation”. …

From the outstanding 1970 vintage, the Ramos Pinto is a beautiful port. Excellent colour with a little red. On the nose jammy strawberries, spice, a hint of pepper and liquorice.

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)

Real Companhia Velha Vintage Port

From the outstanding 1970 vintage. The colour is more tawny than red, and fairly light. It gives the distinct impression of a very old, very mature vintage Port.
The nose gives a strong impression of honey and is followed by sweet grapes and soft red fruits. Very slightly spirity, but not so much that it interferes. This all changes after 5 hours as the honey and fruits nearly vanish and the nose became spirity.
Palate: Very soft and elegant with a very faint smokey note. There's more "sweet" to it than anything else, but it's not a pure sugary sweetness but rather the remains of a sweet fruit compote. …
