Score 17/20 · Drink 1995-2020, Jancis Robinson MW, Oct 2013

Deep ruby with some brick at the rim. Not intense but much more concentrated and lively than the regular 1975. Not much structure. A tad jammy. But a very definite step up from the regular in terms of vigour. Slightly spirity end. (JR)

Dullish medium red with a sign of browning. Mature aromas of redcurrant, marzipan, smoke, underbrush and gunflint, plus a whiff of exotic fruits. Moderately dense and rich in extract but can't match the wines of the '90s for depth of flavor, definition or lift. Seems quite evolved and going nowhere. Finishes with notes of dusty dried leaves and walnut. Ready to drink and unlikely to gain from further patience. From what Christian Seely described as a light vintage: "the regular '75 vintage ports are fading away."
