The oldest of the sweet wines I tried this time was the 1958 Don PX Convento Selección, a very complex and nuanced wine with notes of charred wood, tar, coal, bitter dark chocolate, licorice, roasted coffee beans and aromatic herbs. The palate is compact with no fissures and a bitterness that compensates the sweetness (it has 350 grams of sugar, so it's not a surprise that it doesn't feel as sweet as others). It's relatively dense, complex, rare and unique<br/>
Producer
Toro Albalá
Antonio Sanchez Prieto founded Bodegas Toro Albalá in 1844, in the village of Aguilar de la Frontera. By 1922, José Ma Toro Albalá restored the former electric power station of Aguilar where he moved the winery, and still is today. The Montilla-Moriles region is famous for Sherry, to create this fantastic concoction, the grapes are sun-dried into raisins before being pressed and fermented. Due to the incredible concentration of the juice, the wines are notably sweet but also wonderfully fresh. Don P.X. is their renowned Sherry, full of rich and deep flavors of raisins, figs and dates - the perfect pairing could be anything from blue cheese, to vanilla ice-cream, undoubtedly a must try. In addition to their wonderful wines, the winery’s tasting room holds an extensive wine library with more than 100,000 books.
