Conditions of Sale for Pre-1980 Vintage<br />
Ports:<br />
• Before 1975, Vintage Port was commonly<br />
bottled in London, thus they may not have<br />
what you consider to be standard labels. <strong>The</strong>y<br />
may even be typed.<br />
• It’s common for the labels to be worn (with<br />
scratches and/ or small tears) and have dried<br />
stains on them.<br />
• <strong>The</strong> capsules may be worn, slightly torn or<br />
have dried stains on them.<br />
• <strong>The</strong> Portuguese strip of authenticity, usually<br />
located under the capsule, may be worn, torn<br />
or missing.<br />
• <strong>The</strong> bottles are commonly dusty.<br />
• <strong>The</strong> corks are generally quite fragile and<br />
might crumble upon opening.<br />
• Sediment should be expected - the older the<br />
wine, the more sediment.<br />
• Fill levels will vary - for example a 1970<br />
Vintage is 35+ years old thus a mid-shoulder<br />
level is considered acceptable.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Symington Family<br />
Martinez was founded in 1790 by the Spaniard<br />
Sebastian Gonzalez Martinez, who sold Port,<br />
sherry and cigars from an office in Mincing Lane<br />
in the City of London. In 1822 he was joined by<br />
an Englishman, John Peter Gassiot, a Member of<br />
<strong>The</strong> Royal Society and a great friend of Faraday<br />
the famous scientist. By the time Sebastian<br />
Martinez retired in 1849, the company had<br />
become the largest shipper of Port to<br />
the UK, with its own lodges in<br />
Oporto acquired in 1834. Martinez<br />
Gassiot was well known for its swift<br />
sailing ships, the “Betsy” and the<br />
“Maria Manuela”, which carried its<br />
wines from Oporto to the West<br />
Country of England. In fact it is<br />
recorded that the “Maria Manuela”<br />
was one of the last sailing boats<br />
of its kind to carry Port before<br />
this method of transport was<br />
supplanted by the age of<br />
steam.<br />
Martinez produced some outstanding<br />
Vintage Ports in the<br />
20th Century. James Suckling<br />
wrote in the <strong>Wine</strong> Spectator of<br />
the 1994 Martinez Vintage<br />
Port. “<strong>The</strong> sleeper of the vintage.<br />
A stunning, huge, amazingly<br />
young Port that makes<br />
your mouth pucker in delight.<br />
Full-bodied and medium-sweet,<br />
with masses of fruit and tannins.<br />
Best after 2012.” 97 out<br />
