A golden, glowing wine, very concentrated. The burnt vanilla and dark chocolate flavors are intense. Like many 40-year olds, this has just a hint of a medicinal character, suggesting (rightly) that it should be sipped.

Intense red colour. Rich and seductive bouquet, full of red fruit aromas in jam combined with floral nuances. The taste shows very intense fruity flavours, in a fantastic depth. Sweet and velvety, with a refreshing acidity well-balanced by the tannins subtlety. Ends long and persistent.

Smith Woodhouse's Ten Year Tawny is blended from wines of the very highest quality, matured solely in wood. The maturation in oak casks lends this aged tawny a delicate “nutty” character, which marries beautifully with the delicious raisiny flavours.

Full, fresh and fruity and in tastings often performs better than some lesser Reserve Rubies. This Fine Ruby is a blend of young Ports from different harvests blended to have robust fresh fruity aromas and flavours.
