Skeffington Port, 2016

Vintage Port, DOC Douro

Description and Reviews:
The 2016 Skeffington Vintage Port Wine is a fabulous value vintage port made by the Fladgate Partnership (Owners of Taylors and Fonseca) from the outstanding 2016 vintage. It 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 2016 Skeffington has a pleasant symmetry towards the raisin-infused finish.

This oft-overlooked Vintage Port is well worth checking out as a more affordable alternative to Fonseca or Taylor’s.
