Tasting Note
In the glass it shifts from light amber and old gold to a faint green edge, with steady legs. The nose is striking and alluring — honeyed yet lifted, packed with dried fruit (raisin at the core, but remarkably fresh), quince jelly, gentle oxidative hints, seasoned wood, cinnamon. Unlike the dense, dark PX stereotype, this shows brightness and charm. On the palate it lands medium-dry, the acidity keeping the sweetness taut and lively. The quince-raisin character dominates, laced with a touch of gingerbread. Broader and more textural than palomino Sherries, it stays graceful, long, and very clean. The finish runs and runs. Utterly delicious — generous and approachable.
Product Notes
The Bodegas Ximénez-Spínola Pedro Ximenez Old Harvest Solera 1964 is a magnificent Spanish wine that boasts a striking maturity. This dark, luminous brew displays a lavish bouquet of dried plums, figs, and carob. Its rounded, syrupy texture is punctuated by an intense intensity of flavours comprising dates, licorice, and toasted almonds. Subtle threads of exotic spices and intriguingly bitter hints of burnt caramel provide a fascinating finish. The wine is beautifully balanced, thanks to its deft integration of sweetness and acidity. From one of Spain's oldest bodegas, this vintage reinforces Ximénez-Spínola's reputation for producing signature Pedro Ximenez wines par excellence.
