It seems to be a great moment for fortified wines in Spain. Alvear has fired on all cylinders with their new range of very old wines which perfectly complement their traditional ancient Soleras of sweet Pedro Ximénez. This Amontillado with over 50 years of age displays potent nutty, old furniture aromas and a hint of aldehydes. The palate is opulent, warm, comforting and extremely long. A heart-warming treat reserved for wine lovers with deep pockets. 95 points
