1980 Smith Woodhouse Vintage Port
Showing some ruby red on the edge, this was starting to show some age. Plenty of floral violets, cassis, and licorise on the nose. A youthful palate of red fruit, licorise, and some cedar are balanced by good strong tannins and acid. There is no hurry to drink these if you own them. A well done job by Smith Woodhouse in a year rarely talked about. 92-93 points
