1977 Smith Woodhouse Vintage Port

[Richard Henderson]

After the week from hell in my profession, of course, as an attorney, some might say I was simply at home....I have opened one of my newly acquired 77 SW's. From the release of the cork, strawberry, like the Twizzlers. Heavy red berry fruit and mint. Great depth, almost perfumy like a Margaux. Spearmint . Bay leaves. Cinnamon. The first taste is ripe red plums, Malabar pepper, needs time for the alcohol to mellow. Great deep dark garnet color. How will it be after a few hours?
