Don PX 1946 Montilla-Moriles Pedro Ximénez 1946
I’ve had that once with @Benjamin Keator and it was awesome
I’ve had the ‘55 once or twice before and it would be hard to tell these apart. Age on these is a roll of the dice! Didn’t even need to smell or taste this to know it was a PX. Everything that is motor oil. Black licorice. Baked fig soaked in blackberry sauce topped with mixed berry pie. Viscous!
I have a mag of this vintage. In no rush to open it. Actually imagine it’s still rather youthful

Vignes de l'Hospice Saint-Joseph Syrah 2011
This was the most difficult out of the four reds to guess. It was purple in the glass so you figure new world is a given. It was fruit forward but the tannin wasn’t there to put it as a Cali Cab, nor was it over the top to be an Aussie Shiraz. My guess was new world, possibly Aussie Grenache. Heavy without being dense. Black peppercorn, ripe blackberry and clove. Very young and very enjoyable.

La Landonne Côte-Rotie Syrah 2004
Awesome lineup. For some reason I've had the La La's (inclusive of La Doriane) on my mind a lot lately. Would love to try them all one day.
My WOTD, and I guessed it completely wrong. This was such a dead ringer for Spanish Grenache, I was shocked it wasn’t. Could have sworn on my life there was American oak. Sweet coconut/dill, spice, red clay and some iron. Underripe red and black fruit. Pure and delicious.
