Holy cow! This is simply the best Bordeaux I have ever had! Perfection in a bottle! Well deserving of its 99 Parker rating.

I offered this wine at a meeting of my wine club. Despite the fact we had several great reds on the table the Pedro Ximenez won unanimously as the best wine of the night. It was a great surprise. In fact, it is the best dessert wine I have ever had. Is sweet, but no excessively so, it makes you want to keep drinking it. It does have a fruit flavor, it reminded me of Fig, Guava and also a hint of honey. It was a perfect match for a Key Lime Pie and I believe it would be great with chocolate too.
