Description

** 89 points - Neil Martin **

Possibly the bargain of the vintage. Restrained on the nose, intensely perfumed and dominated by Gala melons. Smooth, medium-bodied entry initially with modest levels of fruit. Patience and air allows the fruit to blossom and the tannins to show. The fruit grows to surprising levels - an intriguing and intense mix of raspberries and blackcurrants. Curry powder tingles on the aftertaste before giving way to a long and powerful finish of blackberries.

Reviews
Jancis Robinson:"Very deep purple with a notably `warm` nose reminiscent of raisins. Notably high volatile acidity and masses of smudgy, pruney, sweet fruit. Much more evolved than the other 2009 vintage ports in the TFP stable. Relatively light on the finish with a peppery note. Not that persistent. Drink 2017-30 16.5 points.

Neal Martin:
The Skeffington ’09 has a lifted fig, marmalade and Xmas cake scented nose with fine delineation. forward and generous. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent tannins, quite plush and pure, caressing dark berried fruit, a dash of white pepper, quite silky towards the finish although it does not have the structure of its siblings. But this will serve as a very pretty, medium-term port to drink after 4-5 years in bottle. Tasted May 2011.
