| Slightly paler than Leacock's 66. A more elegant, cohesive nose of citrus fruits, orange rind and marmalade. Very focused but needs more time. Quite elegant on the palate, sweet tangerines, marmalade fruits. Good acidity and complexity. Showing a little alcohol on the finish. Very fine. Tasted February 2006. | |||||

| Wine Spectator 94 | |||||
| This is an extremely full-bodied, powerful wine, but it still retains a classy balance. Deep ruby, with chocolate and berry aromas, full-bodied, with anise and dried cherry flavors, full, hard tannins and a long finish. Good now but a few more yearsof bottle age would improve it. | |||||

| ...we finished the evening with an exquisite bottle of 1970 Graham's Vintage Port. It was rich and concentrated with loads of berry fruit, an unctuous texture, balanced freshness, and surprising vigor and youthfulness for 36-year old port. March, 2006 | |||||
