1977 Smith Woodhouse Vintage Port
Still a dark purple and showing no signs of age at all. The nose was subdued and just showing some grapes and violets, which were the only indication so far that this has some age to it. Full bodied and rich, yet silky and sexy at the same time. Still had young dark fruit on it with plenty of acid and tannins to carry it to old bones. This easily has 20-30+ more years to go before peaking. 96 points.
