The Toro Albalá Don PX Gran Reserva 1988 is a true gem from the Montilla-Moriles region of Spain. This 375ml bottle offers a glimpse into the rich history and exceptional winemaking techniques of the renowned Toro Albala winery.
On the nose, this wine exudes intense aromas of raisins, figs, and dates, with a hint of toasted almonds and dark chocolate. The deep mahogany color is a testament to its age, while the palate is a symphony of flavors. Sweet and velvety, with a luscious texture, it is bursting with notes of caramel, dried fruits, and a touch of woody spice. The finish is long-lasting and satisfying, leaving a lingering impression of sweetness and complexity.
This 1988 vintage is a perfect example of the exceptional quality and craftsmanship that Toro Albala is known for. Savor it slowly and experience the true essence of Montilla-Moriles in every sip.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate
Tasting old sweet PX from Toro Albalá is like a roller coaster ride, which started with the 1988 Don PX Gran Reserva, what for them is their more commercial range, a wine that at close to 30 years of age is still unbottled. They compared it with the 1981 (which I never tasted), because it was a warm year with an exceptional harvest. It has 16.4% alcohol, 340 grams of residual sugar and mixes notes of youth, raisins, figs and dates with other aromas of a long aging like tar, graphite, chocolate and licorice. It doesn't feel too sweet but compared with the other wines tasted next to it, it doesn't have the complexity or depth. They expect to produce 25,200 bottles and 36,000 half bottles of this.
