NV Sogrado Ruby Port
The sogrado had quite a bit of sediment looked pale and tasted like an off vintage port light in character but with smokiness of age not a lot going for it but still nice.

1985 Martinez Vintage Port

Re: Does the 1975 vintage deserve more respect than it receives?
In my experiance no, a weak single quinta in my opinion at best.Grahams are the only one that I've tasted out of six or seven that has some staying power.
