The wines were stored in a climate-controlled environment prior to auction.
The tasting note for 1970 Cockburn's Vintage Portis from Robert Parker - This house tends to produce quite full-bodied, rich, alcoholic, spirited vintage ports that never have a great deal of complexity or finesse but offer meaty, chocolaty, spicy, full-bodied, alcoholic flavors at the expense of elegance. The 1970 is big and powerful.
