November 2005.

We are pleased to be able to offer:Recently removed from a private cellar.

10 cases Taylor 1970 Vintage Port £795:00 case 12 bottles.

This house must certainly be the Latour of Portugal. Their ports are remarkably backward yet still impressive when young. Of all the vintage ports, those of Taylor need the longest time to mature and even when fully mature seem to have an inner strength and firmness that keep them going for decades. Their tawnys are also among the very best, though somewhat expensive. The 1970 fabulous, a broodingly dense-colored, backward port that has all the signs of future greatness. 96/100 Robert Parker

Clearly lives up to Taylor's superb reputation. Deep ruby, with intense violet and chocolate aromas, full-bodied, with gorgeous fruit flavors, full but well-integrated tannins and an extremely long finish. Amazing balance and finesse.(JS)98/100 James Suckling

Roy, I'm a little confused here - is this you offering this? Or you in conjunction with someone else?
Thanks,
Ed

Ed,

Neither. If I was involved at all, there would be a disclaimer as always.

This was just an email I received by one of the dozens of US/UK based retailers offering Port.

I just copied it onto the site in case anyone is interested. The retailer is sound. That is all I can vouch for. Otherwise, I have NO financial or any other interest in this offering or with the retailer (or ANY for that matter). I hope this clarifies things for you Ed.
