"The 1970 Viña Pomal Reserva is a lovely bottle that still remains comfortably in its plateau of peak maturity and is drinking with style and grace. The lovely nose wafts from the glass in a very pretty combination of raspberries, cloves, cinnamon, a good base of soil, lavender and a touch of cedary oak tones. On the palate the wine is bright, full-bodied and silky, with fine focus and grip, melted tannin and a long, complex and very enjoyable finish."
