"From a recent ex-cellars bottle that came directly from the Symingtons. Brilliant purplish-ruby with full opacity and dark red rim. Purity of grape and raspberry notes with some herbs and mint providing supreme freshness and youth. Mind blowing complexity, this is a killer bottle with nearly perfect balance, and refined tannins still showing a modicum of grip. It's a concentrated, mouthfilling juicy Port with a finish requiring a stop watch to keep track. This magnum provided the best impression of any 1970 Dow's VP I've ever experienced. Guests were blown away by it, and it won Port of the night honors. Blind, I'd have guessed 1985 Fonseca. Magnums of this quality will live another four decades or more."
