N.V. Alvear Pedro Ximénez Montilla-Moriles Solera 1927 – Spain, Andalucía, Montilla-Moriles (6/1/2006)
Dark rich brown in color. The nose is restrained with faint wood and dry nuts making their way through. Huge acidity that balances the thickness on the palate. Not cloying in the least bit which is surprising for such a thick wine. In the mouth you find flavors that go on and on of maple syrup, honey, clove, faint cherries and this is jsut a start. Rich and well balanced, a great wine to start learning about PX with.

this is indeed a great wine. One off the best PX i have thasted ever.

Catavino evolved from the wanderings of an American couple who craved a radical change in perspective. In 2005 they quit their jobs, moved to Spain and dug deep into the local gastronomy.
As time passed, they expanded their focus to include Portugal, whereby sharing the heart and soul of Iberian food, wine and culture.
