Description
Scoring an incredible 92 points Our best value 2011 port.
** 90 -92 Points Neil Martin **
A fabulous value vintage port made by the Fladgate Partnership (Owners of Taylors and Fonseca) from the outstanding 2011 vintage.
“Impressive nose of black cherries, brambles, spice, figs and tobacco. Juicy, mega ripe, sweet black fruits integrated with dark chocolate, spice and liquorice. Luscious, silky mouth feel, with ripe, soft tannins that give the wine elegance. Delicious” Drink 2025-2040 JG (May 2013)
The 2011 Skeffington has a very pure bouquet with scents of macerated dark cherries, kirsch, marmalade and iodine and a lush, open personality that unfolds nicely with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with a soft-textured entry. It is very pure, forward and welcoming even at this nascent stage, with a nutty seam underlying the sweet black currant and dark plum fruit. The 2011 Skeffington has a pleasant symmetry towards the raisin-infused finish that is a little richer than previous vintages, displaying moderate persistency but plenty of freshness on the aftertaste. This oft-overlooked Vintage Port is well worth checking out as a more affordable alternative to Fonseca or Taylor’s. Neal Martin 90-92 points erobertparker.com
