Bodegas Toro Albala Don PX Seleccion 1980 750ml (No Barcode) chianti and limestone are thick andThe 1980 Don PX Seleccin is said to come from a warm and dry year that favored the raisining of the Pedro Ximnez grapes. This has lots of candied fruit and spice and combines the 17% alcohol with a whopping 340 grams of residual sugar. This aged in American oak butts until its bottling in September 2018. It surprised me with a complex and somewhat savory nose, reminiscent of bitter chocolate, licorice and roasted coffee, carob beans and black pepper.
