Albala Don Pedro Gran Rs PX 1994 375ml

Product Info

The 1994 Toro Albalá Don PX Gran Reserva is a magnificent expression of Spain's most celebrated sweet fortified wine tradition. This exquisite 375ml half-bottle showcases the artistry and patience of Montilla-Moriles winemaking at its finest. Crafted entirely from Pedro Ximénez grapes, these precious fruits are harvested at peak ripeness in mid-August and then laid beneath the Spanish sun for seven to nine days. This ancient solera technique concentrates their natural sugars to extraordinary levels, creating the foundation for a wine of remarkable depth and complexity. Aged gracefully for over 25 years in American oak, this Gran Reserva develops a stunning dark mahogany hue and reveals layer upon layer of sophisticated flavors. Expect sumptuous notes of molasses, dried figs, roasted coffee, cocoa, orange peel, and hints of licorice and cinnamon. The palate is velvety and luxuriously sweet, yet balanced with subtle iodized undertones that speak to its noble heritage. This is a wine for contemplation and celebration—perfect served at 10–12°C alongside dark chocolate, aged blue cheese, or simply on its own as a meditative finale to an elegant evening. A true collector's treasure from one of Spain's most respected producers.

Vinification: Grapes are sun-dried (asoleo) for 7–9 days after a mid-August harvest, aged 1 year in stainless steel, then matured in American oak botas for over 25 years. 

Aroma: Rich dried fruits including raisins, dates, figs, and dried peaches, accented by bright bitter-orange peel, roasted coffee beans, licorice, cinnamon, and dark cocoa. 

Palate: Highly viscous, thick, and velvety. It delivers massive layers of toffee, burnt sugar, and dark chocolate, perfectly checked by a surprising, refreshing streak of acidity and a clean bitter edge.

Pairings: Exceptional alongside dark chocolate, blue cheeses, or poured directly over vanilla ice cream. It acts as a complete dessert on its own.
