Tasting Notes

• Deep amber/ochre color with a rusty orange and translucent brown fireside ember hues, edged with olive rim.

• Aromas of freshly toasted pecan nuts, fresh cream toffee, crème brûlée, English breakfast tea, mandarin peel, and subtle maple syrup.

• Flavors feature rich aged orange peel, honey marmalade, candied fruits, citrus, and apricot.

• The finish is dry, complex, and fresh with an intense rancio character, balanced by a piercing electric intensity.

Style & Pairing

• Medium amber color, remarkably drinkable and complex, quite different from traditional ultra-dark PX wines from Spain.

• Blended to represent a 30-year-old style (hence XXXO).

• Versatile: excellent as an aperitif, with dessert, cheese, or enjoyed alone at the end of a meal.

Critic Scores & Reviews

• The Wine Advocate: 94 Points

• Huon Hooke: 95 Points

  • “Full tawny color with amber rim, complex bouquet of walnut, burnished wood paneling and polished furniture. Intense and focused, elegant, refined, not overly rich, very long and resonant finish with great balance and drinkability.” (Dec 2019)
