Description
Wine Spectator reviewed this Porto very positively with the following comments:

“Lots of dried fruit, toffee and caramel on the nose. Full-bodied and very sweet, with lots of fruit and a medium toffee finish. Very young, refreshed style to me. But I like it. 

 Rated 85 points.

Aged Tawny is perhaps the most versatile Port style and is appreciated for its delicacy, complexity, and fine balance. Smith Woodhouse Ten Year Old Tawny has surprisingly vibrant red accents with a light fruity nose. Aromatic flavors of dried apricots, baking spices and plums are completed with a crisp finish. This 10 Year Old Tawny is a blend of barrel-aged wines that have been cask aged and it is bottled ready to drink.

Origin
 

Smith Woodhouse is a small family owned and operated wine producer that was established by three brothers over 200 ago.  Over these many years, winery has quietly prospered, intentionally maintaining a low profile.  The wines are crafted with grapes carefully harvested by hand from the tiny Madalena vineyard (42 acres) in the Rio Torto Valley. 

Today, Smith Woodhouse belongs to the Symington family, fourth generation Port producers,  Smith Woodhouse has prospered under the family's ownership and the company has produced a succession of outstanding Vintage Ports.  Independent parties and professional tasters alike view the Smith Woodhouse 1977 Vintage bottling as the best wine of the vintage.
