This is made from the Pedro Ximinez or PX grape. It is a sweet dessert wine. Coffee brown in color with some green twinges (think Madeira), opaque and bright. The nose is gorgeous and complex with tootsie roll notes along with raisins, figs and a touch of burnt orange peel. Also a sort of sea air salinity lurks in the background. This is viscous like 10W40 motor oil. On the palate, this is sweet. Notes of coffee, toffee layer with dark chocolate and the light salinity comes thru. Complex and deep but also delicious. A little goes a long way. Very smooth. This should last for a long time and even once opened, at least a couple of months in the fridge. Tasted with a variety of Halloween candy, it worked well with Tootsie Rolls but also a Payday bar.
