Smith Woodhouse 20 Year Old Tawny Port

[Andy Velebil]

I can't believe I've never had this Port before nor do I know anyone else who's had it, I couldn't find a tasting note here or on TPF. Bottled in 2019 and only made for the USA market. The color is quite pale, more like a 30 year old tawny. A mix of honey, oranges and toffee nose. Soft sweet entry quickly gives way to an orange marmalade, old wood varnish, honey, maple and spices. I'm quibbling when I say the finish started a little slow, but gained in length with air. This is a darn good 20 year old tawny and drinks above its price point.
