90 points Wine Spectator: "[$23/375ml list] This amber dessert wine is rich and viscous on the palate, with date, fig, honey and clove notes. Intense and sweet, without being sugary. Drink now through 2020. 500 cases imported (8/31/10)"

90 points Wine Enthusiast: "[$23/375ml list] Light brown and slightly translucent in color. Aromas lean toward raisin and prune, but there's orange zest and molasses on the bouquet as well. Bores straight ahead on the palate, with sweet flavors of burnt brown sugar, caramel and prune. Satisfying and balanced even if it's not overly complex. abv: 17%. (Apr 2012)"

90 points Peñín Guide: "(100% pedro ximenez) Colour: dark mahogany. Nose: complex, dried fruit, pattiserie, toasty, saline. Palate: sweet, rich, unctuous, powerful, fruity. (2011)"

Producer notes: "This sweet young wine is obtained through drying the Pedro Ximénez grapes on mats in the sun. Brilliant clear amber color. Clean, light and superbly stylish, it is a pure raisin wine that combines a full aroma with a pleasant fruitiness. Rich in dried fruit nuances and toasty hints of skins, with fresh overtones, rosemary honey. Unctuous palate. Alcohol 17%. Sugar 415 g/l. Food Pairing: Nice partner for blue cheese, pastry and sweetmeats. It can also be served as a dessert itself or with ice or soda as a cooling delicious drink."
