The Gonzalez Byass Nectar Pedro Ximenez NV is a lusciously sweet and complex wine that perfectly embodies the unique terroir of Jerez, Spain. Its deep mahogany color glints with hints of amber and ruby, giving a nod to its extended aging process in oak barrels. On the nose, rich aromas of dried figs, raisins, and caramelized sugar mingle with a subtle nuttiness and a touch of spice. On the palate, this wine is velvety and indulgent, with a full-bodied mouthfeel and a satisfyingly long finish. Flavors of dark chocolate, toasted almonds, and toffee dance on the tongue, balanced by a pleasant acidity that keeps the sweetness in check. Enjoy this exquisite wine on its own as a dessert or pair it with strong cheeses, chocolate-based desserts, or even a warm apple tart. A true gem from the renowned Gonzalez Byass winery, this Nectar Pedro Ximenez NV is a must-try for any wine lover.

Thick and oily in feel, with buckwheat honey, toasted sesame, prune and date flavors forming the core. A Christmas pudding note pervades the exotic finish.

A smooth nose deals typical P.X. aromas of chocolate, fig and raisin. On the palate, this is thick and a touch chewy but that's not abnormal for this type of wine. Rich flavors of café mocha and chocolate finish long, sweet and satisfying.

Toasted sesame, peanut, almond and hazelnut notes lead the way, followed by a fleshy core of prune and fig paste flavors. Shows a long echo of ganache on the finish. Frankly sweet but with enough tension for balance.

Rich, dense and syrupy, but also showing touches of mint and leather on the nose. Quite sticky in the mouth, but with lovely toffee and mocha flavors that set up a finish that runs on and on. Impressive depth of flavor, nice overall balance and a mix of complexity and flat-out richness make this PX a winner.
