EXCELLENT/EXTRAORDINARY - The Washington Post
"This has all the classic Pedro Ximénez notes, with thickly textured walnut cake, toasted sesame, molasses and date notes. There's still cut and lift on the finish despite the heady texture. This isn't for the uninitiated, though." - Wine Spectator
"This is dessert sherry, made from Pedro Ximenez grapes dried to raisins before pressing. The color is nut brown, with golden hues around the rim as you tilt the glass, suggesting a late-autumn sunset. No surprise — it tastes like raisins. Let the flavors unfurl on your palate for a few seconds, and you’ll also taste prunes, roasted hazelnuts and almonds. Savor this with your holiday pies and puddings, pour it over vanilla ice cream or just sip it after dinner. Serve slightly chilled. A little goes a long way. Not to worry — it’s fortified, so the wine will keep for several weeks in the fridge after opening." - The Washington Post
