Occasional wine note

An inventory of dessert wines would not be complete without a Pedro Ximénez (PX) from the Andalucia region, very near Sherry triangle. This solera version with reserve parts nearly a century old is absolutely amazing. This is a VERY sweet wine so save it for your VERY sweet dessert. Outstanding!

What experts say about this wine

100

Wine Advocate

The NV Pedro Ximenez Solera 1927 is non-vintage, but does have some 1927 material in it. This is totally dark brown/amber with notes of figs, toffee, caramel syrup, molasses and coffee. It is dense, super sweet, intense, rich and an amazingly, unctuously textured, thick beverage to consume slowly and introspectively after a meal. Drink now through 2050, or even longer.

Wine Enthusiast

One of the world's best PX wines is Solera 1927, the pride of Alvear. Whatever solera stocks went into this bottling were well selected. Aromas of maple and fine wood turn to fig and caramel. Saturation and weight on the palate are expected, but this has some (though not a lot) acidic cut. Deep flavors of fig and Nutella finish with nuttiness and warmth.
