Tasting Note
The 1990 Don PX Gran Reserva has unusually high sugar, close to 400 grams (when this range is usually less than 360). Compared with the rest of wines, this feels like a very good value. These wines mature in old 550-liter American oak casks for decades, and the wines have great concentration. It felt unusually perfumed, a little spirity and with notes that made me think of Moscatel?notes of orange peel and flowers, and of course the raisin and dry dates and figs from these wines made with raisins. It's sweet and dense like motor oil and leaves a combination of raisins and chocolate in the spicy and faintly warm finish. This was bottled in early 2019. -Robert Parker

Bodegas Toro Albalá
The Toro Albalá winery began in the heart of Southern Cordoba in 1922, which is famous for its wine region Montilla-Moriles. Our history begins with the story of a small wine grower José María Toro Albalá who had the great idea of keeping aged wines to create wine treasures destined for the most demanding palates and whose family values are still founded on this philosophy today. Toro Albalá wines are now to be found on the best tables in the world. Toro Albala winery has received awards in recognition of its constancy in the world of viticulture. Patience bears sweet fruit, something which winemaker and enologist Antonio Sánchez knows well, having dedicated all his life to this and for whom the Pedro Ximénez grapes are as if they were his own offspring, grown under the best conditions to ensure sufficient character and to be a part of the most wonderful dinner gatherings. The Don P.X. Convento Selección 1946 which was awarded 100 points by wine guru Robert Parker in his magazine Wine Advocate. This was a turning point for the Toro Albalá brand as it was also the first time a sweet wine from Montilla-Moriles had been awarded with 100 points, thus having entered the Olympus of wines. This is a priceless accolade in international and national markets that appreciate a priceless wine. Nurtured with care since 1946, this Don P.X. Convento Selección 1946 comes to our tables today with the flavour of time.
