2009 Skeffington Vintage Port

[Al B.]

Decant: Not Known - 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 an long and powerful finish of blackberries. Could this be the bargain of the vintage? 89-91 89 points
