Magnum. Stunning, enchanting and absolutely pure. Pale and delicate in colour, yet still so complete and persistent. Fufills every expectation. And apparently indestructible! (RH)

Second bottle opened. Mid tawny. Markedly beefy nose, with black-pepper and chilli spice – very savoury. Quite intense, beefy, spicy palate with dried black fruit in the background. Dark-chocolate finish, but with a fair slug of alcohol. Not at its best, I suspect. (TJ)
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. (JR)
This is an extraordinary house that seems to have been particularly successful with its vintage port since 1977.The 1970 is good, but for some reason has never blossomed and developed any complexity.
