Perpetually underrated, the 2011 Smith Woodhouse, which is founded upon very old vines at Quinta da Madalena in the Torto Valley, has a broody but intense bouquet of blackberry, kirsch, Oriental spices and a slight resinous note. It is very well-defined - but serious. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, fine acidity, and a lovely spice note at the side of the mouth that leaves the mouth tingling long after it has departed. Very harmonious and long, this is a wonderful Smith Woodhouse. Excellent. 1,000 cases declared. Tasted May 2013. Neal Martin - Wine Journal
The charming floral aromas of rockrose and violets of the Touriga Franca deliver superb elegance, finesse and harmony to the Smith Woodhouse 2011 Vintage Port. The sizeable contribution from the old mixed vines shows through in the gorgeous layers of liquorice and blackberry fruit. The seamless spicy tannins give grip and authority to this Vintage Port, which has the potential to age for several decades.
Reviews" Supple, sweet and open with lovely bright cherry and blackberry fruit. Nice purity and structure: vivid and intense. Score: 92–94/100" Jamie Goode, thewinedetective.com
