1985 Smith Woodhouse Vintage Port
Posted: Sat Jan 14, 2012 5:13 pm
Decant: 5 hours - 90% opaque; mid red in colour, looking mature. Modest on the nose, with fresh cut grass and red cherry. Modest entry, full of sharp fruit and with a good dose of acidity and very soft tannins. The fruit grows to fill the palate, showing some late sweetness. Cedar-wood aftertaste, with dry cheeks on a sweet finish that has good length. 86 points
