1980 Smith Woodhouse Vintage Port

[Monique Heinemans.]

Decanted for two hours: not much on the nose, orange/red rim. Taste is much better than the nose, lots of dark fruit, plums, dates, some bitter tones of chocolate, but also grapefruit (?), a nice glass, mediumlong aftertaste.
Second and third day much better, lovely tones of dried fruit and dark chocolate, although the nose stays pretty closed and the aftertaste medium.

Monique,

Reading your TN, the first thing I thought of was ... "only 2 hours for decanting of a youngster like this?"

I am not at all surprised that it showed much better with a couple of days open to not only flesh out but for the aromatics to really come alive.
