A Robert Parker's 100-pointer at only HK$1,980 per Bottle, "This is an extreme wine"Luis Gutierrez
Bodega Toro Albala is created in 1922 and is regarded as one of the best producers in Spain nowadays. Unlike many producers, Bodega Toro Albala located in the inland of Spain in DO Montilla-Moriles which is famous of the white top soil – Albariza. The grapes are Pedro Ximenez and the quality of the Sherry wines are excellent through the portfolio of the winery.
A sweet wine which makes Bodega Toro Albala a step further to legend is Toro Albala’s Don PX Convento Seleccion, Montilla-Moriles 1946. It is produced with dehydrated Pedro Ximenez grapes under the sun at the time of the Second World War and bottled at 65 years later in September 2011. It received a perfect 100pts Score from Luis Gutierrez, wine critics of Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate who wrote beautiful note about this wine:
“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.”

100pts Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
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.
Delivery is free-of-charge for single purchase above HK$3,000 or 6 bottles (or accumulated amount at time of delivery); otherwise, a standard delivery fee of HK$100 applies.
