Tasting notes
100% Pedro Ximénez. Some of the rarest static wines from Montilla. The angel’s share is about 5–6% per year, so they have to sacrifice an entire cask sometimes to recover the original level. Just by serving it in the glass, it already shows that it is an extremely dense and viscous wine. With a dark black hue, it is pure cream on the palate, but more powerful, denser and deeper. A great wine that completely fills the palate with just one drop. More a syrup rich in aromas than a wine. (FC)

There is a big jump in concentration and density in the 2004 Pedro Ximénez de Sacristía, and looking at the analytical data, it's also the one with more sugar and acidity, so something happened here... It's really dark and dense, oily, notably different from the 2006 that is only two years younger. It has more depth and complexity, the aromas feel less sweet, and the bitter notes appear—roasted coffee, bitter chocolate... 582 half bottles were filled in 2017.
