2011 Skeffington

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Nose shows fresh and focused blackcurrants at first, but these fade quickly over a few days. Ripe fruit, sweet and with a lovely balance and soft structure; some delightful floral elements appear on the late palate. The rich aftertaste shows the tannins on the fine fruity finish. 91-93. Tasted over 1-4 days as part of the extended 2011 tasting.
Top Ports in 2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!
