Alvear PX 1927
16.72₣ (Exc. VAT bot. 75 cl.) / Switzerland
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The impressive 1927 Pedro Ximenez Solera, from a Solera begun nearly 80 years ago, boasts a dark amber color as well as an extraordinary nose of creme brulee, liquefied nuts, marmalade, and maple syrup. Huge and viscous, yet neither cloyingly sweet nor heavy, it is a profound effort priced unbelievably low. It is meant to be drunk alone at the end of a meal.

Description
Alvear PX 1927 is a sweet wine of exceptional quality, originally from Montilla-Moriles. This wine is a single varietal, made from 100% Pedro Ximénez grapes. The uniqueness of this wine begins with the process of raisining the grapes in the sun, a technique that concentrates their natural sugars and enhances the flavours.
Elaboration
The ageing of this wine is a crucial aspect of its production. It is carried out in American oak casks, following the traditional system of criaderas and soleras. This process lasts more than 5 years, and is essential to develop its complexity and depth of flavours. Alvear PX 1927 comes from one of the oldest soleras of the winery, started in 1927, which adds historical value and tradition to each bottle.
Taste
Alvear PX 1927 is characterised by a sweet, ample and unctuous taste. In the mouth, hints of coffee caramel with milk and cocoa can be appreciated, on a background of sultanas. This wine has a very long finish, leaving a lasting impression on the palate. Its colour is bright mahogany with iodised tones, and on the nose, it is powerful and attractive with roasted notes and hints of pastries and coffee liqueur.
This wine is ideal with desserts, especially those that include dark chocolate or blue cheeses.
