The wine
With the 2011 vintage, this discreet but exceptional sweet Pedro Ximénez wine surprised everyone by receiving 100 points from Robert Parker himself. An impressive PX, young and fresh, with incredible ageing capability and good evolution in bottle, very rich in aromas of figs, chocolate, caramelised fruits, with an unctuous texture, sweet yet having a fantastic acidity which makes it glide weightlessly on the palate... Perfection reached with virtually every harvest. Plus merits abound at this price. A little gem which, for a very small sum, will delight everyone at the end of a fine dinner.
