"The impressive 1927 Pedro Ximenez Solera, from a Solera begun 83 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." 96 pts Robert ParkerI read this description a few months ago and thought it would be fun to try a wine that was started in 1927, or at least some of it is 83 years old. In all actuality about 1% of it is 80+ years old. I love Robert Parker but he is out there some of the time. Who wants to drink "liquefied nuts, marmalade, and maple syrup. But he is right about how great this wine is. Do you remember how sad you were as a kid when you opened your lunch box praying there was a twinkie but all your mom packed you was that stupid box of SunMaid Raisins. That is EXACTLY what this wine SMELLS and TASTES like with a hint of nuttiness and yes a syrup component on the finish. Probably because this is a dessert wine. Serve with a cheese plate after dinner or with a really good vanilla ice cream. I Love it!!!! Liquefied Awesome 95pts
