  Pours out like thick treacle. Delicious nose: Old time Malaga, "Magenbrot" carob, dried date, some balancing acidity.
  On the palate very refined, smooth, deliciously sweet without being cloying. Wonderfully creamy with a long finish. Goes down the gullet ever so smoothly. Somehow I understand why some people would want to pour this one over vanilla ice-cream even though - in this instance - it would be a terrible waste!

  Este vino dulce presenta un color caoba muy oscuro . El aroma consiste esencialmente en uvas pasas con toques de piel de naranja. En boca es regularmente denso y viscoso, aterciopelado y muy concentrado, produce nuevamente sensaciones de uva pasa, naranja, chocolate. Excelente acidez, dulce pero no empalagoso final muy largo.
  Este es un excelente PX, pero, en mi opinión queda lejos de la excelencia y genialidad de otros, de la misma bodega como por ejemplo el Ginés de Liebana , o de otras bodegas como por ejemplo el Niños, el Maestro Sierra, etcétera.

  Wow - great to see this at the bottle shop. Drank most within a few days and the last portion weeks later. Held its composure and shined throughout. Golden brown legs, coats the glass. On the palate there are rancio, toffee, vanilla, raisin and caramel medley notes, showing that fortified purity that only the best can. This will last many more years and gladly so.
