Description

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. On the palate, so beautifully smooth and in great balance, red fruit some violets. A long long finish. This is a beautiful wine.

About Ramos Pinto

Ramos Pinto is one of the oldest and most esteemed Port wine producers in Portugal's Douro Valley. Founded by Adriano Ramos Pinto in 1880, the company has a long history of crafting high-quality Port wines, particularly Vintage Ports.

Ramos Pinto is known for its innovative approach to winemaking and marketing. For example, they were one of the first Port houses to bottle their own wines, rather than selling them in bulk. They also created distinctive and memorable advertising campaigns, such as the iconic "The Wine with the Velvet Attitude" slogan.

The Ramos Pinto portfolio includes a wide range of Port wines, including Vintage Ports, Late Bottled Vintage (LBV) Ports, Tawny Ports, and Ruby Ports. The company is especially renowned for its Vintage Ports, which are made only in exceptional years and are considered among the finest and most collectible Port wines.

Ramos Pinto has a reputation for producing wines of exceptional quality, and their dedication to craftsmanship and tradition has earned them a loyal following among wine enthusiasts around the world.

*** 95 pts- Wine Advocate- Oct 2016***
The 1970 Vintage Port is a field blend (that practice changes beginning with the 1983) and the moment when we arrive in the relatively modern era in our vertical this issue. There are no compromises here. This is terrific, focused and beautiful, a wine with tension, complexity, flavor and structure. Tightly wound, it finishes dry and seriously, with still-powerful (but not searing) tannins. The rich, sexy fruit is delectable and the velvety texture makes it sensual as well as sexy. Overall, this is in a pretty good place, but it should have a lot of life left, too. Mark Squires- RobertParker.com

Reviews
"Mature in appearance with a wide rose rim; 60% opaque but full of fine sediment. Delicious redcurrants on the nose, mature and sweet. Rounded and sweet on the palate with lots of sweet fruit but lacking a little acidity so feeling a touch flabby. Very sweet on the late palate, with lots of parma violets which appear on and dominate the aftertaste. The violet fruit flavours show all over the finish. " AHB The Port Forum
