Description
The Toro Albala Centenario wines are a special release to celebrate 100 years of Toro Albala. They have been chosen to convey the character and spirit of the winery. They are the result of Antonio Sánchez and each of the workers’ efforts and care for years.
The Pedro Ximénez was a wine selected by Antonio Sánchez decades ago, with a very special purpose, to share them during Holy Week with his friends and family. They were only opened on those dates, the rest of the year they wouldn’t allow anyone to touch them. Today, Antonio has decided it’s time to share them with the rest of the world.
Tasting Note
Jet black colour, very high layer, and great density, with very vivid amber reflections on the sides which stain the glass. Firstly, aromas of coffee, tobacco leaves, liquorice, toasted and dark chocolate appear, product of its long ageing. Candied orange, dried figs, raisins and baked apple aromas also appear. Very long wine, silky pass and very well-balanced acidity with the sweetness and the final bitter touch, the result of the pass of time.

Reviews
98 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Sometimes prices seem disparate even if the wines are unique, and that seems to be the case for a one-off NV 100 Centenario Single Cask Pedro Ximénez, a sweet and dense wine with 17% alcohol and 490 grams of sugar. It's an extremely old wine from a single cask believed to be centenary, so it's to celebrate the first 100 years of the winery. It was bottled into 800 hand-numbered bottles. The wine has the characteristics of a very old Pedro Ximénez, very dark, opaque, dense and sweet but terribly balanced and elegant. Scarce, unique and expensive. Luis Gutierrez Sept 2022
