Standard ThePortForum rule: if the question is ‘A or B’, then the answer is either ‘Both’, or ‘Both, and C’.

Don't underestimate NN75. It has a good reputation and the only time I've tasted it, it wasn't a great wine by any means but I did enjoy it as a fully mature Port which needed to be drunk soon.
