1975 Quevedo Colheita Port

Deep red in colour, and with a transparent centre. Very little on the nose, other than some faint sweet redcurrant. In the mouth this is young and full of youthful fruit. The sweet, brown sugar fruit flavours come through in the late mid-palate and compensate for the slightly harsh acidity in the early mid-palate. The lovely, balanced aftertaste is light and enjoyable and dominated by flavours of molasses and toffee. 89/100. Drunk 11 Feb 2010.

Great note. I've only had one older Quevedo and that is the 1968 Colheita and I hope to get to try this too, someday. Thanks for the description!

Same here, I've not had the '75 just the 1968, which I have really enjoyed. I hope to get to try this one some day. Thanks for the note.
