This wine has a burnished look, deep brown. The nose is a treat all on its own. There are aromas of brown sugar, coffee and orange zest which combine for an amazing olfactory experience. The palate is just as joyful, with caramel, raisin and mocha notes. The acidity is fresh and exhilarating. Although the wine is described on the label as “cream,” it does not strike me as creamy. The viscosity is nice, though. It will pair well with dessert, or serve as one by itself.

Sheer fun if you aren’t up for full-on PX. Ice is okay. You do you in this (soon to be) post-pandemic world.

Tastes exactly of what it is--80% Oloroso and 20% Pedro Ximenez. Great maderized notes, caramel, acid, balanced. Ideal for when you're craving a PX but would prefer to avoid the diabetes.

Dia de San Valentin wine # 3. East India Sherry with chocolate & dulce de leche cake. Excellent pairing, seems like a helluva bargain for 15 years aging.

15 years age minimum. 1,000 (approx) bottles released per year from this solera. Motor oil color, perfect for dessert.

Impeccable balance between aged Palomino and PX. Aged 15 years is solera for complexity.
