NV Graham Crusted 1985
40% opaque. Murky, browning liquid. Slightly spirity nose without fruit. Better on the palate, finer and more resolved. But no pleasure to drink. Not really 'wrong', just past its best. Blind, guessed (by me) to be a 1975. Tasted 21/05/19.

Cloudy, mature red appearance; opaque centre. A delicate raspberry nose, surprisingly clean. Very soft fruit entry, with gentle raspberries overlaying a bitter tannic core. Light fruit flavours around a dry core. Great dry grip on the aftertaste with a surprisingly long finish. A little straightforward and simple. 85/100.
Top Ports in 2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.
2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!

I wonder how this would go head-to-head against an '85 era Six Grapes.
