Bodegas Tradicion 20 Year Old Pedro Ximenez Sherry

We have tasted some wonderful example of Pedro Ximenez in our time, but this wine tops the lot. Deep walnut brown colour with deep olive green hue. The viscosity of the wine would appear even greater than motor oil. Superb nose of raisins, raisin cake, plum pudding, honey and toffee. The palate weight is even denser than Lustau’s PX – creating an amazing mouthfeel. There is great concentration of palate flavour – honey and dried raisins over a layer of Christmas pudding, followed by honeyed figs. Wonderfully sweet and luscious, yet with sufficient acidity to avoid cloying. A truly magnificent example of the style.
