Smith Woodhouse is part of the Symington family of ports (Grahams, Warres etc) and is an under the radar Port house that doesn’t really get the attention that its Vintage ports deserve.
This glorious 2003 vintage port delivers huge concentration and power. In the glass, it has an alluring nose of tobacco, smoke, and black fruits. This is a very fruit-forward port with lots of red berries, cherries and soft spices and a long finish. The ripe tannic back-drop along with an imperious finish means that this port will reign for a long time. Grown-up vintage port. Try this with a strong hard cheese.
