Re: 1970 Smith Woodhouse
Mature brick red colour, 40% opaque. A wonderful nose of sweet mace and candied cherry. Lovely texture, smooth and elegant. Plenty of fruit with a nice cedar tone; but the fruit is fabulous, mature and elegant. Slightly dry aftertaste before a glorious and fragrant finish, which has a quick burst of orange at the end. 92/100. Drunk 10-May-17. Decanted 6 hours.
Top Ports in 2018 (so far): Niepoort VV (1960's Bottling), Quinta do Noval Nacional 1994 and San Leonardo Very Old White (Bottled 2018)
