I bought this interesting half bottle from the wine section of a Tokyo department stall. This is a vintage PX dessert wine from Montilla-Morilles, made by Bodegas Toro Albala. Of course, I didn't know anything more until I got back and looked up my Hugh Johnson Pocket Wine Book. I was relieved to find that he has an entry - "family firm located in a 1920s power station and aptly making Electrico Finos, Amontillados, and a PX which is among the best in Montilla and Spain."
So I have stumbled upon a great PX dessert wine. I must confess I
haven't opened this bottle yet. However I have no doubts as to the wine's
greatness. I have had a non-vintage PX Montilla from one of its competitors and
it turned out to be an amazing experience. The same goes for my taste of PX
sherry. I shall indeed look forward to tasting this wine.
