2011 Smith Woodhouse

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

1,000 cases. Deep and intense purple. Powerful flowers on the nose, full of lavender. Sweet fruit impact, very fruit forward but with a solid chocolate tannins and sweet, ripe acidity. Sweet black chocolate finish.This is lush, fruity port that has tannins which are hidden, soft and persistent. 92-94. Snapshot tasting on 24 April 2013.
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!
