F75 Second deepest in colour after the Croft. Great fruit, with a smooth heat running through and a balanced sweetness on a long finish. A very fine port from the vintage.

30% opacity, warm red. Cherries on the nose. An early sweetness fades, then dryness.

F75. Dark red, 50% opaque. Very hot and acrid.

By ’75 standards, not bad.
