N.V. Alvear Pedro XimÃ©nez Montilla-Moriles Solera 1927 – Spain, AndalucÃa, 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.
