Though one of the lesser-known labels in the Symington family portfolio, Smith Woodhouse has a solid reputation as an excellent producer of vintage Port, renowned for superb value wines of considerable depth, concentration and length. From the wonderful 2016 vintage, this is a delicious release that has both early-drinking appeal and good potential longevity. Drink 2020-2056.

- The 2016 Smith Woodhouse Vintage Port represents the best production from the Quinta da Madalena vineyard, where picking did not begin until 28 September. It perhaps just lacks the same intensity and complexity of its peers with black truffle and smoke aromas infusing the black fruit. The palate is well balanced with a spicy, stem ginger tinged opening that shows much more promise than the nose. I admire the tension here, a nimble and agile Vintage Port that gathers weight towards the finish. Fine, but perhaps a more short-term proposition than its peers.
