Jen’s Notes

We'd been eager for another PX sherry; when I saw this at WINE a couple of weeks ago, I had to get it, along with the Laughing Magpie for Shane's blind tasting.

This wine showed a deep, opaque brown color, and boasted aromas of caramel and sweet raisins. On the palate, it was mouthfilling and succulent, bursting with concentrated flavors of butterscotch, sugared dates, caramel, and a touch of dark chocolate. The texture was creamy, thick, and super-smooth. The one disappointment was that the wine was a touch hot on the finish.

Though not as complex as the Sanchez Romate, it is altogether yummy, and a fine example of a Pedro Ximenex sherry at a great price.
