1985 Smith Woodhouse
Posted: 08:33 Mon 02 Mar 2020
Wine Society Exhibition Vintage Port. A wonderful mature brick red codlour, 60% opaque. Surprisingly little on the nose, a bit of woodsmoke and sour cherry. Nice structure on the palate with plenty of acidity and quite a lot of grip. The fruit is modest and restrained, soft and mature - elegant rather than powerful. The aftertaste is gentle with a sweet cherry finish. This is a nice Port for current drinking. 88/100. Drunk 29-Feb-20. Decanting time N/K.
