Delicious. Pronounced plum. Raisins. Long, complex finish. Notes of nuts and slight note of honey.

Thanks for this 375 ml bottle of dark amber goodness, birthday boy RN. Whilst this NV Pedro Ximenez Solera 1927 is non-vintage, it does have some 1927 material in it!
Made of 100% Pedro Ximénez grapes from the D.O. Montilla-Moriles, comes from sun-dried grapes and aged for 5 years in American oak barrels. Traditional solera system means this goes through regular extractions and sprinklings.
Colour - Dark brown and deep amber
Nose - Figs, toffee, caramel syrup, molasses and coffee
Mouthfeel - Dense, very intensely sweet, good level of richness and thick.
Balance - Surprisingly well balanced with the acidity providing a backbone.
Finish - Medium-long with a tail-finish of ripe figs too.
Bodegas Alvear was founded in 1729, and is the oldest winery in Andalusia and the second in Spain. Throughout its history, it has kept its family personality, true to its roots. The Alvear are quite a few nowadays, and there are more than 50 owners right now! Some of the people in charge of the company are also family members.
The main grape variety is Pedro Ximénez, which is the base of its sweet, fino, oloroso and amontillado wines.
Wine Enthusiast calls this "One of the world's best PX wines". Clearly, the solera stocks went into this bottling were well selected.
Wine Advocate and Robert Parker proudly reminds, and it is printed on the label of the bottle -
"To consume slowly and introspectively after a meal"!
We did the same.. Enjoyed this with RN's birthday sticky toffee pudding, at Stoked.. Cheers!
