Palomino from Jerez de la Frontera, Anadlucía
A Vino de Pasto from the laminated Albarizas Barajuelas of Pago Macharnudo. Willy Perez has turned out an absolutely ripping 'Escribana' in 2024. Willy clearly has epic touch eliciting balance, complexity, texture and freshness to give us an entrancing wine. In reference to flavour I typical refer to a core of fruit for most grape varieties and wines. Drinking Vino de Pasto, I prefer to refer to a core of flavour. The 2024 'Escribana' certainly has flavour to burn. Saline & nutty with gr
Palomino from Jerez de la Frontera, Anadlucía
Caberrubia is Bodegas Luis Pérez's answer to NV Grand Cru Champagne! 'Caberrubia' is the name of a local bird which has returned to these vineyards since they were converted to organics. All natural alcohol. It's saline, iodine, balsamic, deeply chalky, deeply savoury, rich with balancing bitterness. Drinking it is like skiing down an intermediate slope, deep and winding but not too rushed, there's heaps of time to explore the chalk and every delicate switch and fold of texture and flavour.
Palomino from Jerez de la Frontera, Anadlucía
This isn't your grandmother's Sherry.Made in the style of bygone regional traditions, the De La Riva Vino de Pasto is an non-fortified aromatic table wine made with Palomino from the El Notario plot in pago Macharnudo. It ages under flor for 10 months, which gives distinctive Fino notes: brine, bruised apples and a mineral tang. Despite Palomino's naturally low acidity the wine vibrant and juicy on the tongue, which complements the textural nature of the palate and its savoury flavour profil
Pedro Ximénez from Montilla-Moriles, Anadlucía
17% ABV. “The 1980 Don PX Selección is said to come from a warm and dry year that favored the raisining of the Pedro Ximénez grapes. This has lots of candied fruit and spice and combines the 17% alcohol with a whopping 340 grams of residual sugar. This aged in American oak butts until its bottling in September 2018. It surprised me with a complex and somewhat savory nose, reminiscent of bitter chocolate, licorice and roasted coffee, carob beans and black pepper. It's super concentrated, dens
Pedro Ximénez from Montilla-Moriles, Anadlucía
“The oldest, most concentrated, nuanced and serious from the range of single-harvest sweet wines I tasted this time was the 1943 Don PX Ginés Liébana, which comes from six butts that had been aging in the cellars without being blended. It has 15% alcohol and a whopping 440 grams of sugar, but the truth is, it doesn't come through as that sweet. It's super concentrated, layered and complex, thick and dense, like honey. This is the more serious and canonical, dare I say it, closer to the Jerez
Pedro Ximénez from Montilla-Moriles, Anadlucía
“The 1956 Don PX Convento Selección has a smoky note of coal, bitter chocolate and licorice and, with time, becomes creamier, with echoes of milk chocolate and café au lait, with a clearly lactic/creamy note. It has 16.5% alcohol and 390 grams of sugar. It's thick and dense, complex, with flavors of licorice, powder cocoa, hot chocolate and dark raisins. Apparently, the barrels were never moved from the same, cooler part of their cellars where the wine matured for over 65 years. This is eleg
Pedro Ximénez from Montilla-Moriles, Anadlucía
“My favorite of all the old sweet PXs I tasted this time was the perfumed and showy 1964 Don PX Convento Selección, which still has the wooden label, but it has also been modernized and made easier to read. It is denser than any of the other wines and has a brighter edge, amber, because the center is opaque and black. It has an incredible perfume; it's floral and spicy with fresher aromas than I remember in the other sweet PXs. It fills your mouth, goes down your throat like liquid gold and e
Pedro Ximénez from Montilla-Moriles, Anadlucía
“The 1977 Don PX Convento Selección has a high-pitched and acute note of caramelized orange peel that gives it a distinct and perhaps more forward profile. It matured in Amontillado casks for over 45 years without being blended, and it aged in different parts of their cellars throughout its life, which they say might add to its complexity. It has 16% alcohol and 395 grams of sugar, not as dense as the others and with a distinct note of cinnamon in the finish. This is gentler, showier, per
Palomino from Jerez de la Frontera, Anadlucía
The first iteration of this wine I drank was the 2018, a seriously impressive wine.
