Tasting - Alvear Pedro Ximénez


Name:  Alvear Pedro Ximénez
Variety: 100% Pedro Ximénez
Region: Montilla-Moriles, Spain
Country: USA
Year: 1927
Price: $25

Winery review:
Deep mahogany tints: appealing nectar with a bold vinosity and traces of chocolate and prunes; very fragrant with a pleasant fruitiness. Raisiny in the mouth, silky smooth in texture. Light bodied sweet wine, plenty of character.


My review:
This wine has bold, strong, slap you in the face aromas of raisins and sugar. It has a very sweet and fairly smooth taste. I very much enjoy its strong sweet aftertaste. I kept wanting to drink this wine and was disappointed that I couldn't taste what it was like paired with something sharp and strong to cut through its flavors because it was so smooth and sweet.

Food or no food:
Unfortunately, I didn't have this wine with food.
