Note di degustazione
Tasted blind. Virtually black! Coats the inside of the glass. Unusual minerally notes not unlike tarmacadam. Lots of syrupy texture, molten treacle toffee. But sufficient acidity too. In tiny drops this could please… Very distinctive. Looks quite young. A bit of alcohol on the end. (JR)

Toro Albalá has been releasing vintage-dated, sweet wines in chronological order for a while (I have great memories of the 1972) and the 'current' release is the 1986 Don PX Gran Reserva, which is a dark, sweet and concentrated dessert wine aged in American oak casks until bottling in June 2014. It has 350 grams of residual sugar. It's extremely dark, motor oil-dense, sweet wine with notes of raisins, hints of flowers, minty with aromas of candied orange peel and herbs, really aromatic and showy. The palate is dense, with the sweetness balanced by good acidity plus spicy and chocolate flavors. 40,000 bottles and 25,000 half bottles produced. The price shown is for a full bottle.
