Pale rim. Acrid nose. Increasingly unpleasant to me as the evening went on. I don't think I like 1975 port. Others liked this more.

G75: red-pink, 15% opaque. Sweet and softly ’75ish, being very light with lovely balance.

Graham 1975, copper bronze colour with a golden core; 40% opaque. Attractive nose, sweet redcurrant and rosewater - but there is something slightly dirty under the fruit and the spirit sticking out over the top. Sweet, light and elegant; plenty of honeyed fruit. Good acidity on the palate keeps the flavours fresh, vanilla and redcurrant aftertaste with good intensity. Surprisingly bold and persistent finish. Not bad at all. 87/100. Double decanted 8 hours.
