Toro Albala Don PX Gran Reserva (37.5cl) 1982 Corella
Producer: Toro Albala
Tasting Notes:
Where to start!...firstly the deep, dark amber, dark honey colour with concentrated aromas of caramel, toast, licorice and orange peel. Flavours of dates, chocolate, nuts, fruit peel and treacle. A great wine for pouring over good vanilla ice cream or to accompany blue cheese (we recommend Gorgonzola or Cabrales). Its a wonderful after dinner sweetie with plenty of interest and character. One of Spains great wines and an institution in itself.
Grape Variety: Pedro Ximenez
ABV: 17.5%
Country/Region: Spain
Vintage: 1982
Don PX is made only from the best grapes of the Pedro Ximenez variety in the
region. Once ripe, the yellow bunches of delicate sweet grapes are
harvested and dried on special mats in the open air; the particularly
dry nights make the grapes become raisin-like, thus the concentration of
flavours. The dry nights and the dry air blowing over the grapes are
critical. The grapes are pressed at around 25 degrees Baume. The juice
extracted is a sticky liquid called pasta (paste). The wines are
fortified with high quality alcohol and then rested for 6 months. The
wine is then aged in American oak (for as long as Antonio Sanchez deems
necessary and known only to himself) the wine is then bottled and only
released when he considers it ready. Hence vintage releases can jump
forward or backwards. The result however is that the wines are always
perfect on release.
