Don PX Convento Selección Montilla-Moriles Pedro Ximénez

@Benjamin Keator had his hosting at the CC tonight and it was absolutely incredible. What a night of gorgeous wines! All wines are guessed blind.

This dessert wine is about the same age as my Dad. When you can associate a wine/vintage personally, it really opens your eyes to how wine can hold. This is undoubtedly Pedro Ximenez, which I guessed. It reminds me of a non-vintage port with a balsamic mix to it. Tons of black licorice, old brown sugar, and the aforementioned balsamic vinaigrette note. Incredible for the age.

Aromas of treacle, dried Dates, balsamic. The texture is like syrup. Length on palate is ridiculous. Exotic and decadent

Enjoyed my first sampling of the Grand Convento. And admittedly could have consumed the whole bottle myself in one sitting. Nuff said.

1929 Convento. More syrupy and sweet than 1934 or 1955. Still a smooth and rich and massive wine. Better finish than 1934 but less fresh.

1934 Convento series. L Opimio. Superb, balance. Fresher than 1946 and 1929 and more similar to the 1955. Smooth and showing good acidity and delicate smokiness. Beautiful. Great complex nose. Best of this tasting.

Intensity defined, balanced and endless.
