The only Martinez I've had was from the 60's and it was quite tawny colored and tasting. May've been a little past its prime. I am curious to try more. Did you pick that bottle up in NJ?

i got it in nyc for about $40. i'm not expecting much in the wayof a big, opulent port, but i just had to pick one up to try it. i also grabbed their 95 eira bottling for the same price, but i'll sit on that one for a few years.

Sorry Dave, I've only had the 1967 Martinez VP, so can't help you.
