A Year of Historic Change In Portugal
1975 marked a turning point, with the country undergoing profound political and social transformation following the Carnation Revolution. Globally, 1975 saw the end of the Vietnam War and the signing of the Helsinki Accords, easing Cold War tensions. In the UK, Queen Elizabeth II’s Christmas Broadcast was recorded outdoors for the first time, and the Royal Variety Performance was attended by The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh. 1975 saw the release of Bohemian Rhapsody, redefining modern music, and Jaws, which revolutionised the thriller genre. It also marked the debut of Saturday Night Live, shaping contemporary comedy. In the corporate world, Microsoft was founded, paving the way for a new technological era.

PAIRING SUGGESTIONS
Combines well with flavours of figs, almonds and caramel. It is an excellent complement for a crème brûlée or a plate of wild strawberries. It may also be appreciated on its own, at the end of the meal, with walnuts or dried fruit.
TASTING NOTES
Rich chestnut in colour, with a broad amber rim. An elegant, floral, beautifully perfumed nose with an opulent core of wild honey, treacle, tea leaf and a delicate red cherry compote, delivers wonderful freshness. Cedary cigar box aromas, notes of wild rosemary, thyme and a kiss of fresh mint add a discreet level of complexity. The palate is luscious and lifted by a fresh acidity with flavours of blood orange marmalade, dried figs, apricots and rum babá. The finish is bright, lean, fresh and harmonious. A superb Single Harvest Tawny Port.
