2016 Smith Woodhouse

2016 Smith Woodhouse

An aromatic nose of dark fruits with notes of sandalwood emerging with aeration. A full, dark fruited core of fruit is framed by ultrafine tannin. There is excellent depth and complexity of flavour, a well defined delinreated structure. This is an impressive showing from Smith Woodhouse. Bravo.

Tasting notes

That super-deep Sym crimson again. Very luscious, appealing nose. Smooth and sweet, a sort of cadet to the big guns initially but then freshness and polished tannins (masses of them) kick in. Rather inky, almost bitter on the end. Leathery.
