1982 Smith Woodhouse LBV

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Sweet fruit on the nose, attractive and delicious. Smooth and balanced on the palate, packed with elegant fruit. This grows on the palate and delivers a lovely and complex palate. Light and lively with great balance. Fruity but with a fresh green edge. The finish is enjoyable; this is a lovely port that is mature but not in need of drinking any time soon. 91/100. 17-Mar-16.
Top Ports in 2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!
