spain, dessert wine, 5 stars, 92 points, $32, sherry, Pedro Ximenez, andalucia
Deep amber colored with heavy staining and a high viscosity (17% ABV). The nose has medium (+) intensity aromas of stewed prunes, dried nuts, desiccated blueberry, vanilla thread, raisins, Christmas cake and cherry cola syrup. The palate is very sweet, with medium acidity and a full body that sits heavily on the tongue. The flavors echo the nose with a touch of heat interfering on the back end. It’s a luscious wine for sure that has a medium to long finish. I would pair it with vanilla ice cream or a cheese board with some stinky blue on it. Delicious stuff but a thimble-full will go a long way. 92 points, and for $32 it gets 5 stars. Salut….
