Amazing wine - coffee, licorice, tea. Long. Green-rimmed. Very impressive

Michael Schachner - Wine Enthusiast

With piercing aromas of raisin pudding, molasses and spice, this rolls out the welcome mat and more. Luscious is probably as tame as you can put it; this is a ribald sweet wine with acidic backbone and hugely intense flavors of baked brown sugar, cinnamon cake and molasses. Powerful but still racy due to bracing acidity. About as good as it gets with P.X.

James Suckling

An excellent introduction to this extreme category. Intense caramelized-grapefruit character with plenty of toffee aroma. However, for a pedro ximénez, this has a certain lightness of touch and the sweetness is restrained. Long, raisiny but clean finish. Drink now.

Dark, moody nose with hay and sweet, toasty notes. Malty and sweet palate balanced out by some sour freshness. Silver, DWWA 2011, Decanter World Wine Awards

Decanter World Wine Awards 2015 - Silver

A lighter Pedro Ximénez style which is generously soft and satisfying. A Bonfire's Night palate of molasses, black treacle, smoked cedar wood, baked apples and cinammon. Intense, long and great for the price.

Decanter World Wine Awards 2014 - Bronze

Silky and intensely sweet with dark treacle on the nose and palate with extra depth coming from burnt orange flavours.
