Bodegas Ximénez Spínola, Jerez 'Seco Serie 2' PX Palo Cortado, 2021 Saint Guilhem le Desert 91% Cabernet SauvignonA distinct Palo Cortado, with lovely amber colour, notes of oak and a luscious rounded palate with no evidence of alcohol. Being PX rather than Palomino the palate is fuller and rounder without a characteristic tang but has beautiful integration and a lovely nutty finish. Reminiscent of a mellow bourbon, with all its complexity, depth and generosity yet without the whack of alcohol. A truly memorable wine. Jerez, Andalusia, Spain 100% Pedro Ximenez
