Alvear's 2011 Pedro Ximenez de Anada is the most amazing Pedro Ximenez I have ever tasted. It may also be one of the first to be vintage-dated... It is an amazing effort that looks like molasses. Notes of macerated figs, chocolate and caramelized tropical fruits emerge from this full-bodied, unctuously-textured wine. While sweet, it has enough acidity to balance out its richness...

Vintage 2011 - excellent balance, very harmoniously, wagonloads of apricot

Gotta say M. Parker, I disagree. Will try it again tmrw but today lacking the verve to make it interesting.

I thoroughly enjoyed this 100 pointer..but it didn't move me or reset my expectations for what PX can do..

One time that I unequivocally agree with Robert Parker's 100 point rating. Rich unctuous flavors of dried figs, prunes, raisins, honey, and pecan pie. Dessert in a glass.

One of, if not the best sherry I've ever had. Intense honey and maple flavor. Great raisiny fig, date and prune. Finished with a nice almond nutty flavor and maybe some tree bark.

This is the 2011 PX de Añada dessert wine. Drank this last night with dinner. Knock your socks off dessert wine. Like drinking a bottle of sweet dates and molasses...without any cloyiness. Long finish. Gorgeous wine.
