2000 Smith Woodhouse vintage port

Post by Rune EG »

Decanted 3.5 hrs which worked OK, but need more air-time (next bottle 5 hrs). A lot of sediments at decanting. Deep dark purple colour with a touch of brown. Light rim. Aroma of overripe berries, some spices. Medium to full body. Taste is rich, elegant, plenty fruit, round style. Nice “polished” tannins. The berries are fresh with a significant element of acidity. Medium length aftertaste. Well-structured and well-balanced acidity/sweetness. 93 pts.

I had a bottle of this recently and really enjoyed it. I'm keeping my eye out for more.
