Time for the Honeymoon

We are leaving for Italy on September 1 for our honeymoon. This will be our last entry until we blog a slew of Italian wines when we return. Look for our next entry in early October.


1971 Pedro Ximenex Sherry
Bodegas Toro Albala, SL
Cordoba, Spain
23.00
Jen's Notes

This wine is older than I am, and might be our oldest so far (until we crack open a 66 Colheita tonight!). We love PX sherries, and this one probably runs a close second to the Cardenal Cisneros. It is rich and creamy, with honey, vanilla, and molasses flavors. So far, classic PX. This one, however, is unusually grapey, which provides a pleasantly fruity accent to this decadent wine.
