    • Description

    This exceptional Don PX Selección 1968 from Toro Albala is an enveloping and complex wine, produced from the “asoleo” process of Pedro Ximénez grapes to obtain a great richness in sugars. After the press, it was left to rest for 12 months in stainless steel tanks. When the period came to an end, it was stored in American oak butts to age with time. An authentic gem awarded with 94 Robert Parker points.
    Drink from now to 2030+

    Don PX are our signature. Each one of them is taken care of with exclusivity, from the harvest to the raisining, obtaining a unique personality.

    D.O.P. Montilla-Moriles.



    TASTING NOTES

    Sight: Deep black with beautiful amber borders.
    Aroma: Intense, with a first highlight of orange peel, followed by rice pudding sweets, cinnamon and chocolate aromas. Raisins, caramel and coffee appear in the background.
    Taste: Enveloping, with a sweet entry, immediately followed by a light acidity which refreshes thepass through mouth. Unctuous, but not dense, velvety and pleasant finish.
    SERVING SUGGESTIONS

    This Don PX Selección 1968 is a delight when paired with bitter chocolate desserts and blue cheeses.

    94 Points - Wine Advocate Luiz Guttierez
    Going up the ladder of age, concentration, complexity (and price), the 1968 Don PX Selección aged in American oak butts for some 47 years before bottling, and was never blended with any other vintage. The wine has 340 grams of unfermented sugar and higher acidity given its age, as evaporation in barrel concentrates everything. This is somehow less dense and more pungent than the other old sweet wines, with more spices, lots of cinnamon and cocoa powder. It's more fluid, somehow lighter, and with some notes reminiscent of oloroso and even amontillado. There were 6,900 liters of this wine, which was bottled in various formats, including magnums, three and six liter bottles. The price is for a regular bottle. Wine Advocate 2016
