synergy fine wines

Golden syrup, treacle colour in colour.  The nose is full of raisins and dried grapes, intensely rich and concentrated.  Viscus, rich and opulent in the mouth with extreme length and concentration.  There is some old wood, orange peel, huge sweetness and raisiny goodness on the palate.  It is kind of cloying, but that is the point.  The acid keeps your mouth a bit fresh.

The impressive 1927 Pedro Ximenez Solera, from a Solera begun nearly 80 years ago, boasts a dark amber color as well as an extraordinary nose of creme brulee, liquefied nuts, marmalade, and maple syrup. Huge and viscous, yet neither cloyingly sweet nor heavy, it is a profound effort priced unbelievably low. It is meant to be drunk alone at the end of a meal.
