SW70. Dark red, 75% opaque. To taste alcohol, herbs and lemon. A light-weight port, even slight, but pleasant and refreshing.
Re: 1970 Smith Woodhouse
dark ruby red, rich red fruit, taste a bit dusty, a bit restrained; overall not as great as this port can be; in my eyes a bt that has recently been travelling and has not given enough time to rest

Mid red, orange rim, 60% opaque. Subdued nose. On the palate this has gentle fruit, lots of raspberry and very soft tannin. Lovely aftertaste, soft and gentle jelly and a long length. Very pleasant. 89/100.
Top Port in 2017 (so far): Graham Stone Terraces 2015 and Quinta do Vesuvio 1994
2016 Port of the year: Cockburn 1908

Redcurrant on the nose - very high acidity and a bitter finish.
