A very pale red that's appears far older than it is. Soft and delicate, with light floral notes and some heat starting to poke through as the fruit is now seemingly fading. A bit of sweetness develops on the finish which is moderate in length. Past it's best days but still holding on, it's time to drink these up.

Re: 1975 Cockburn Vintage Port
European Wine Resource has this in stock at $85/btl. I'd love to try it because it's my birth year but based on all of the reviews I've read on it, it doesn't seem like a very good QPR.
