Graham's Vintage Port - 1970 (750ml) 1997 powerful Conn Valley Cabernet SauvignonThis 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. Best from 1990 through 1993. JS Wine Spectator 94 points
