I've drunk this bottle over several weeks, and while it is perfectly enjoyable, I really can't understand some of the ratings being given here. It's an OK sweet wine to sip with dessert or (some) cheeses. There's a reasonable balance of sweetness, acidity, and a variety of flavours including sweet raisins, toffee and caramel.
But that makes it "very good" (hence my 87 rating). It is far from outstanding, and not the best PX that I've drunk by a long way.

Huge, dark resonant with toffee, butterscotch almond raisin notes. A brilliant expression of Pedro Ximenez a palate bursting with dark richness of caramel coating and dried raisins and figs with a single malt balance of alcohol, expressed the fine grained woody texture and enhance richness that we added by pairing with a friends homemade truffles. Decadence at its finest.

Dark brown. A massive nose of walnuts, dried figs, prunes, rough leather and liquorice. Explosive and intense nose. The palate is equally imposing. Big sweetness, like drinking an old prune-fig smoothie, intense and very unctuous. Cut with piercing acidity. Excellent; very unusual.

Drinking absolutely wonderfully. It's like delicious fig flavored motor oil, hard to imagine but that's the best I can do.
