Description

A bottle of Smith Woodhouse 1977 Vintage Port from Portugal. This was imported to the UK market by John E Fells & Sons.

There is no ABV stated on the label.

'Great dark color. Intense aromas of blackberry, stem and earth. Very powerful and youthful nose. Full-bodied and medium-sweet, with lots of milk chocolate, spice and berry character. Layered and balanced. So enjoyable. But just a baby. It is really fantastic. Underrated by many, including me. Drink now through 2020. Score: 96/100' James Suckling, Wine Spectator

This 1977 Smith Woodhouse sold at our online auction for £35

Condition

Please see images for fill level and label condition. Note general wear. The capsule has a chunk of what appears to be wax stuck to the top of the capsule.

The Whisky.Auction team has inspected this lot and found it to be suitable for sale. However, please note the absence of a condition statement does not imply that this lot is in perfect condition or free from wear and tear, imperfections or the effects of ageing. We cannot guarantee that the contents of this bottle will be free from the effects of age, cork taint, oxidation or other faults. Older bottles often contain sediment. Wines are more fragile than spirits and older wines may be listed, at our discretion, for their historical interest rather than their drinkability. We can in no way guarantee that they are still within their plateau of maturity or to the buyer’s taste.

This bottle does not appear to be leaking. While we take every care to pack bottles securely we cannot guarantee that old corks and closures will not leak in transit.
