  Definitively quirky with its residual sweetness, coupled with some saline impressions. quite long on the palate. I am going backwards and forward with my impressions of this wine. It is definitively more a "vino da meditazione " than an accompaniment to some food, though - reading through my tasting note of 2017, it seems to pair well with foie gras....

  Dinner at Pun Im (Tanjong Pagar, Singapore): An interesting late harvest PX; made as a white wine with some residual sugar intact. Came in at only 12.5%. The nose showed a fairly unusual melange of yellow fig and peach aromas playing against a savoury backdrop. Same thing on the palate - figs, maybe some orange peel, and then again a distinctly savoury midpalate, all held together in a creamily textured mouthful by a little bit of balancing acidity. It was pretty well integrated and quite well-balanced. Finish had fairly good length too, with a nice hint of bittersweet minerality. Not a brilliant wine, but very interesting and quite drinkable. Decent pairing with the less spicy Thai dishes.

  No es un vino fácil, se cría en barricas usadas previamente con vinos de crianza oxidativa. Monovarietal de Pedro Ximénez. De color oro viejo. Nariz intensa, expresiva, algo de pastelería, azúcar quemado, frutos secos, algo de miel y algunos barnices. En boca entra con carácter, untuoso, con sutil dulcedumbre, bastante frescura, buenos amargos, buena estructura y notable longitud.

  Nose of honey. Strong initially but mellowed a bit after a few hours. Flavours were a bit disjointed but seemed to even out and more united with the nose over time. Rather sweet to me. Not really my thing but an interesting wine nevertheless.
