Toro Albalá Don PX (375ml) 2004

94 POINTS

Luis Gutierrez - Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The 2004 Don PX sweet Pedro Ximénez has a deep color, very dark, almost opaque and pours dense and thick, with an oily texture that can be noticed later on the palate and gives it a velvety mouthfeel. It's a single-harvest wine that spent almost 20 years in cask and ages faster than the dynamic blends in soleras. There is a distinct perfumed note, almost floral (jasmine, orange blossom), a little Moscatel-like that makes it very attractive and that I found in most of the PXs this year, which made them stand apart when tasting them with PXs from producers in Jerez. This one has flavors of raisins and dates, sweet cinnamon and other spices, noble woods and dark chocolate, sweet and intoxicating, with 17% alcohol and 375 grams of sugar. It finished with a note of violet pastille. Beautiful. 12,500 full bottles and 18,000 half bottles produced. The price is for a full bottle. It was bottled in January 2024.

Michael Schachner - Wine Enthusiast

Ultra concentrated and sticky, with unctuous but wholesome raisin aromas taken to a level that's almost heavenly. In the mouth, the maple, cinnamon and brown sugar flavors are lusty and satisfying, and the finish never ends. This is P.X. in awesome form.

Wine Spectator

Supersweet, but also high in alcohol, lending a rustic cast to it. Butterscotch, lexia raisin and smoke flavors are concentrated and linger on the finish.
