Description

1983 Smith Woodhouse – Vintage Port (Douro, Portugal)

A quietly superb ’83 from this under-sung Fladgate house, now in its sweet spot. Deep garnet fading toward tawny at the rim. The nose is lifted and complex: black cherry and damson, fig and date, orange peel and violets, with cacao, coffee bean, cedar and a gentle eucalyptus/menthol lift.

Silky and harmonious on the palate. Sweet dark-berry fruit and kirsch ride lively acidity; tannins are velvety and resolved. Layers of walnut, dark chocolate and baking spice carry into a long, tapering finish of cocoa and candied citrus.

Serve: Lightly cool 14–16 °C. Decant 1–2 hours to remove crust and open aromatics.
Food pairing: Stilton/blue cheeses, walnut tart, dark chocolate desserts, roasted nuts.
Drink window: Drinking beautifully now; will hold a graceful plateau for several more years if well cellared.
