1975 Delaforce Vintage Port

A friend is celebrating her 30th birthday today, so there was only one vintage to choose from.

Decanted at 11.40 - clear and bright. No off smells at all.

First sip after decanting: a little spiritous and a bit light, but immediately drinkable.

So far quite promising - more later

A small glass:

Colour very pale and tawny, light on the palate with a little fire on the finish. Pleasant, but unexceptional.

Could hardly differ more from the jammy Graham's that I'm coming to the end of now.

This decanter is not going to embarrass me tonight, but this is definitely Port Lite!

OK for everyday quaffing, but not big bucks - This is the only bottle I have, if I see more at auction I will set a bid limit of £10/bottle

Another little glass before venturing out.

Bouquet light but pleasant, fire now gone.

Really quite good, but SO pale!
