I have found AI !!! Here is what it thinks!!!!
Expected profile of the 1974 Smith Woodhouse LBV
- Aroma: Mature, rich, and inviting, with notes of raisin and spice. Other possible notes include prune, fig, damson, and cinnamon.
- Flavor: Ripe black fruits and fig are commonly found. As an older LBV, it should be fully mature with integrated flavors.
- Style: An LBV from this era is likely to be a gentle, balanced, and elegant fortified wine.
- Filtration: Smith Woodhouse was known for producing unfiltered LBVs, which have a much better capacity for long-term bottle aging. If the bottle is unfiltered, it will have developed a sediment (crust) over time and will need to be carefully decanted.
- Condition: Like any very old bottle of wine, the condition can vary widely depending on how it was stored. You should inspect the bottle’s label, ullage (fill level), and closure before opening
