2007 Smith Woodhouse Vintage Port
A deep purple color but not what I’d call the proverbial “Squid Ink.” Up front this showed lots of eucalyptus that gave way to moderate tannins and solid acidity. A nice amount of cedar showed up mid palate and some blueberries came late. A bit of heat on the moderately long finish wrapped this up nicely. I was quite impressed with this bottling from a house that doesn’t get enough respect. 89-90(+) points
