  Delicious, amazing motor-oil-like goodness. Macerated raisins and dates. Caramel. Brown sugar. Viscous...sticks to the glass. Wicked stuff.

  XVIII Salón de los Mejores Vinos de España -Peñín; 10/23/2017-10/24/2017 (IFEMA - Madrid): By comparing with 1910, this is thicker, denser and aromatically more stricter. Velvety texture. Endless density. 30 seconds plus of pure pleasure. A decadent Odalisque.
  
  Por comparación con el PX 1910, este es más grueso, más denso y aromáticamente más estricto. Textura aterciopelada. Densidad infinita. Más de 30 segundos de puro placer. Una Odalisca decadente.

  Nez puissant sur le raisin de corinthe, la melasse, la café frais, le vinaigre balsamique et la vieille machine beurré d'huile a moteur (surement un chevrolet si ca coule)
  Vive attaque en bouche, on mord dans les figue et les raisins secs (boite rouge)
  Toucher gras, non, toucher visqueux, ça tapisse et colle aux paroies de la bouche. L'alcool est faible 11% ce qui rend le tout agréable et "équilibré", quoi que l'acidité est faible
  Finale intense sur le café et la figur, de longue MINUTES à saper tellement c'est gras. D'ailleur il faut faire des bons verres sinon il reste plus rien quand on le fait tourner car ça colle sur le verre. Seul défaut est la sensation de sucre qui reste en gorge...
  Une belle expérience, 93 points

  Served blind. Doesn't pour so much as plop into the glass looking like glass-staining betadine. Rum raisin, egg nog, orange peel, rancio, brown sugar nose. Obviously PX with plenty of character from long barrel time. Tastes foremost like raisins, aceto balsamico, sorghum. Guessed a '71 Toro Albala. Hard to condense this experience into a number as it's not really vinous at all, and barely a drink.

  Tasted blind. Deep black/motor oil with fascinating betadine edges. Delightful nose of eggshells, crema, maple syrup, and blueberry hotcakes. Obviously super viscous, but somehow weightless and sensational at the same time. Really complex mouthfeel and texture. Classic maple syrup, but there is a sweet/sour wild blueberry top note that takes this to a new level. Long finish.
