1988 Smith Woodhouse Madalena Vintage Port

[Al B.]

Decant: 4 hours - Mid-red, holding in to the rim with a slight rose tinge right on the edge of the rim; 90% opaque. Peach and vanilla on the nose - and Rainier cherries! Light bodied texture, flavoursome with candied red jelly beans dominating the palate, supported by gentle tannins and soft acidity. Lively aftertaste, raspberries and a dry brioche finish. Thoroughly enjoyable port. 88 points
