Description
This Gran Reserva 1999 Don PX is one Toro Albala's signature wines. This is an elegant and complex wine, elaborated with Pedro Ximénez grapes harvested in mid-August and laid under the hot Andalusian sun to concentrate their sugars and flavours. Each bottle is taken care of with exclusivity, from the harvest to the drying of the grapes, to the ageing in cask, and thus obtaining a unique personality.
Tasting Notes
Dark mahogany in colour, with viscosity in the glass. Aromas of coffee, dark chocolate, raisined fruit, grapes,plums, dried apricots, hints of cinnamon, a little balsamic and citrus, orange dominate the nose. On the palate it is sweet perfectly balanced with citrus acidity and a long persistent finish.
Serving and Food Pairing
Pop and pour Don PX slightly chilled, ideally between 10-14°C (50-57°F). Excellent with chocolate desserts, pouring over vanilla ice cream, with fruit-based desserts , blue cheese, desserts and aged hard cheeses such as Manchego. The wine’s rich, sweet profile is an excellent match for the decadent, buttery flavor of foie gras or with cured meats, particularly those with a sweet or spicy profile, like chorizo or Iberico ham.
