- Smith Woodhouse's 10 Years Old Tawny is a perfect match to sweet pastries, such as apple pie with cinnamon. Taste slightly chilled to appreciate the full complexity and sensuous pleasure of this wine. An excellent alternative to Vintage Port at less formal occasions. Will keep for some weeks after opening.
- 90 out of 100 points
- "Another Symington family brand that often shows well, Smith Woodhouse 10 year old is big and firm, quite tannic even, and very rich and dry. This is a good, solid, powerful wine, with great finishing acidity."
- Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, August 2006
- "Lots of dried fruit, toffee and caramel on the nose. Full-bodied and very sweet, with lots of fruit and a medium toffee finish... I like it."
