Don PX Convento Selección Montilla-Moriles Pedro Ximénez 1946

Wow. This stuff is crazy. So wild to think about what was going in the world when these PX grapes were drying out in the sun. So unctuous and thick, Christmas spice and burned rubber, balsamic glaze, chocolate syrup, prunes, butterscotch, somehow lively and even fresh. I don’t know from sherry but this was a real treat — 2 months ago

Selección Rioja Tempranillo 2000

Close to current release. Just under a year and a half in both French and American oak barrels, then almost 20yrs in tank! 90% Tempranillo.

Opened this alongside a bottle of 2018 Cayuse Impulsivo (Tempranillo)…you won’t find the signature Cayuse funk here, but there is enough green/vegetal aromatics to where these work on the same table as well as spiced red fruits. Deep red-purple in the glass with a hint of fading around the rim. The palate shows a lot of youthful acidity (almost spritz-like) with green peppercorn, black cherries, underripe blackberries and pipe tobacco. Not uber complex, but for 24yrs, this is extremely fresh and shows a fun side of Rioja that isn’t oak-centric.
