Smith Woodhouse Aged 10 Year Tawny Port Wine WE90 Rated

Smith Woodhouse 10-Year Old Tawny Port hails from Portugal’s iconic Douro Valley, crafted by the renowned Symington family—masters of port wine production for generations. This non-vintage red blend is a testament to meticulous aging in small oak barrels for a decade, resulting in its signature amber-hued elegance and layered complexity that sets it apart from other ports on your shelf.

With every pour, this premium Douro port wine delivers a rich tapestry of flavors designed for those seeking depth without sweetness overload. The nose bursts with mature fruit aromas—think dried apricots and figs—seamlessly blended with hints of toasted nuts and caramelized citrus that speak to its extended barrel aging. On the palate, its firm structure balances bold tannins with velvety smoothness, creating a harmonious finish marked by crisp acidity that lingers long after each sip. Perfectly dry yet opulent, this wine transcends traditional dessert pairings; its versatility shines when paired with sharp cheeses like aged Gouda or even robust dark chocolate truffles during your evening gatherings.

Wine Enthusiast’s 90-point rating underscores its acclaim among connoisseurs who appreciate its powerful yet refined character—a hallmark of Symington’s expertise. Unlike many ports rushed through production cycles, Smith Woodhouse’s patience pays off here: small barrel aging amplifies nuanced spice tones while maintaining approachability over time.

Its 20% alcohol content ensures warmth without heaviness—a crowd-pleasing choice for celebratory pours or post-meal contemplation.
