Oh my God! El Candado Pedro Ximenez sherry

Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God, this is wonderful. Oh dear. Oh dear oh dear. This wine is sweet, rich and intense. The smell is overwhelming and the flavour just keeps going on and on. Why drink tawny port when you can drink this? With winter on the way here in Australia, this is what you should be stocking up on, or the amazing Australian fortified wines. The liqueur muscats, tokays, verdelhos etc are wines of immense power and flavour. Why on Earth we don't drink more of them is just beyond me. But this Spanish stuff is special. Just so you know, Ximenez is pronounced 'himeneth.' And yes, the bottle has a padlock on it.
