Wine Advocate (100)The 1946 Don PX Convento Seleccion produced with Pedro Ximenez grapes dehydrated under the sun at the time of the Second World War, was only bottled in September 2011. This is an extreme wine, my first descriptor was ultra-mega-super concentrated. It is unbelievably powerful, both in the nose and the palate, full of umami, with sweet cinnamon, Christmas cake, camphor, petrol, lemongrass, Belgian chocolate and butter. Incredibly complex and rich, sweet, balanced and smooth in the palate, it is both very sweet and somehow salty, and with time it develops a black olive note. It combines the texture of the 1962 and the elegance of the 1949. It is as decadent as it gets. 825 bottles were produced. This wine will survive all of us. These wines are kept for generations and offered in very small quantities, but it’s amazing that you can still buy and drink something so old, and I’m even tempted to say that it might represent good value for what it is. A real tour de force sweet wine. Drink it if you ever have the privilege to do so from 2013-2060. |

Wine Advocate (97-98)The oldest of the sweet wines I tried this time was the 1958 Don PX Convento Selección, a very complex and nuanced wine with notes of charred wood, tar, coal, bitter dark chocolate, licorice, roasted coffee beans and aromatic herbs. The palate is compact with no fissures and a bitterness that compensates the sweetness (it has 350 grams of sugar, so it's not a surprise that it doesn't feel as sweet as others). It's relatively dense, complex, rare and unique. They expect to produce 14,200 bottles of this elixir. |

James Suckling (95)Wow. A glorious chardonnay that I have been admiring for decades. It’s full-bodied with layers of ripe apple, hints of white peach and nougat and vanilla undertones. Creamy. It’s full-bodied and gorgeous all the way through. Drink or hold. |

Torres Penedes Forcada 2016 is a suave Spanish wine gem – an embodiment of the esteemed and innovative craftsmanship of the Torres family from Penedès, Catalonia. Renowned for their ceaseless quest for excellence, this illustrious family revived the almost extinct Forcada grape, curated it to glory, and subsequently unveiled this masterpiece in 2016. Relishing the quintessential Mediterranean climate complemented by a calcerous clay terroir, this wine gleams a luscious golden hue, unfolding an intricate bouquet of white roses and fresh almonds. This perfectly balances the inviting aromas of ripe white fruit and delicate citrus nuances, leading to an invigoratingly fresh palate. Aged in oak, thus bestowing a unique texture and complexity, Torres Penedes Forcada 2016 culminates in an enduring, eloquent finish. The everlasting persistence of the Torres family establishes wine-making precedents with this elegant offering, crafting a one-of-a-kind vintage and an exceptional contribution to the world of fine wine.
