Pale ruby and a note of dirty wood. Sweet and simple on the palate – cleaner on the palate than the nose. Rather more concentration than the 1975. (JR)

Cult Wines International Notes:

The 1970 Quinta do Noval Vintage Port is widely considered one of the greatest Port vintages of the 20th century. Produced by Quinta do Noval, one of the most esteemed and historic Port houses, this wine is a testament to the exceptional quality that can be achieved in a declared vintage year. The 1970 growing season was marked by ideal conditions, with a hot, dry summer leading to perfectly ripe grapes and concentrated flavors.

This particular Vintage Port is celebrated for its remarkable complexity and longevity. While still a powerful and structured wine, the decades of aging have transformed its youthful intensity into a harmonious symphony of flavors. It typically presents a deep, tawny color and a bouquet of dried fruit, nuts, caramel, and exotic spices. On the palate, it is known for its incredible depth and a finish that seems to last forever.

The 1970 Quinta do Noval is highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts around the world. It is considered a benchmark for what a mature Vintage Port should be, embodying elegance, power, and the ability to age gracefully for a lifetime.
