Fernando de Castilla PX Pedro Ximenez NV
Sherry Jerez - Manzanilla, SpainHow is it that with over 400 g/l of residual sugar, this exceptional, rare Sherry can not finish sweet? Raisins, concentrated beef jus, roasted spices, bitter bergamot, blackstrap molasses, dark chocolate, espresso and earthy tobacco swirl throughout the layered wine, with more and more revealed at every swirl. This is a true marriage of potent savoury and potent sweet. The finish lingers minutes, with a savoury, subtly bitter and salty afterglow. Only fifteen percent alcohol here, and one of the most outstanding wines I’ve tried for a long time.Tasted: 23 September 2016Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| AB | $64.00 | 500ml |
