2002 Smith Woodhouse LBV Port

Post by Bill Spohn »

Medium red in colour with decent, not too sweet nose with some nice smokiness and ripe fig. Not overly sweet. Decent showing

Smith Woodhouse is a "traditional" LBV so it is usually unfiltered and probably bottled four years after the vintage. Did the label have a bottling date and was there any mention of it being unfiltered?

SW LBVs are bottled after 4 years and then held back another 4 years to bottle-age, prior to release from Gaia.
