  September 15, 2007 - A rich, caramal, orange color. Not as dark or scary as other Pedro Ximenez. The nose is sherry-like -- old, leather bags. The palate is smooth as silk -- pure caramel sugar. Wow. This is sweet, rich and not too big. The sugar lingers and lingers after the initial rich, sherry-like approach. The balance is perfect. Rich, deep, old-world, prunes, balanced by crisp buttered-sugar. This is wonderful stuff. The last time we had it, the chef made a caramal sauce using this as a sugar base -- it matched perfectly. This is really a great discovery. Glad I have 3 left. Yummy stuff. Parker is dead-on. This is exquisite.
