Tasting notes
The purple/black-colored 2007 Smith Woodhouse Vintage Port exhibits an alluring bouquet of mineral, pencil lead, espresso, violets, black currant, and fruitcake. Dense and structured on the palate, it has an excellent integration of alcohol, acidity, and tannin. It should be one of the longer lived wines of the vintage with 12-15+ years of aging potential and a drinking window extending through 2037. Importer: Premium Port Wine, San Francisco, CA; tel.

Cherry fruit bursting on to the tongue, vivacious and bright, really enthralling. Comparatively quiet nose that needs time to realise its full potential. (RH)
Firm, smoky and liquorice with a hint of tar. Serious stuff. Nice fresh fruit and really rather luscious. Exciting tingle on the palate. There's a great beginning, middle and end to this wine. Zesty but rewarding. Bravo! Maybe not for the very long term but great balance for the medium term. (JR)
