1970 Smith Woodhouse

Post by flash_uk »

Tasted at lunch by Mike and Julian.

40% opacity, warm red. Nose of strawberries and bubblegum, with some gentle alcohol. Nice and clean in the mouth, heat mid to end, nice syrupy mouthfeel, dried strawberry. Very fine drinking, maybe not for the long haul here on.

JDAW (who dislikes the WiFi login so is using Mike's iPad): dark red, 40% opaque. Mature Port, great length, mid weight. Red cherries; edge of drying out. Lovely, very lovely, but drink up.

Haha! To be fair to Julian, the dislike of wifi was driven by the tedious signup demands, not a security paranoia
