Description

Two lots of TWO bottles straight from their original wooden case.

Oporto bottled with a Lay & Wheeler label, one of the main importers into Britain of this brand.

All in perfect original order.

Extracts from www.thevintageportsite.com

Smith Woodhouse declares a Vintage Port only in exceptional years, perhaps three times in a decade, and in the intervening years may produce a Quinta Vintage Port from Quinta da Madalena. As a rule, the Madalena Vintage Ports will be aged in our cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia for 10 years or more after harvest before being released to the market, ready for enjoyment, although in 1995 the Madalena Vintage was so extraordinary it was released En Primeur.

As a niche brand with limited production Smith Woodhouse is perhaps not widely known to the general public, but among Port connoisseurs it is eagerly sought. In major blind tastings of all the Ports declared in Vintage years, critics consistently pick out the Smith Woodhouse as extraordinarily good and extraordinarily good value. Michael Broadbent gave Smith Woodhouse 1980 “My highest rating of the 14 '80s tasted blind at Christie's in June 1990. 5 Stars” and in 2000 wrote of the Smith Woodhouse 1994 “A complete, lovely wine. 5 Stars” In a 20 year retrospective tasting of all the 1977 Vintage Ports James Suckling rated the Smith Woodhouse 1977 at 99 out of 100 points, and called this Port “the greatest value in Vintage Port at the moment… and it’s an absolutely gorgeous Port to drink… In terms for sheer quality for money, it’s crazy not to buy some ’77 Smith Woodhouse…”

Deep dark ruby colour. Wonderful lifted aromas of “esteva” and roses. Very mature fruit imparts raisin flavours and a thick cassis structure. Layers of ripe fruit promise well for the future.

Jancis Robinson MW

Dark blackish purple. Rich, soft, black cherries. Very sweet and powerful and alcoholic, so much so that it is quite difficult to even discern the tannins but they are there… It is extremely young but is does have all the ingredients there. Score: 18/20

James Suckling Wine Spectator
2003 (tasting note year)
Now we are talking. Wow. Aromas of liquorice, flowers and crushed blackberries. Full-bodied and medium sweet, with lovely smooth, fine tannins and a long, sweet finish. Greatest young Vintage Port of Smith Woodhouse I have ever tasted. Score: 95/100
