PX Alfaraz 16%, Aecovi

Appearance
Dense black through brown amber to yellow rim, very viscous.
Nose
Cinder toffee, caramel and pasa, an interesting phenolic/fruity nose (remember the stems can't be separated from the sun-dried grapes) with some character and charm. Lots of dates and figs and intensely sweet.
Palate
Extremely viscous, cinder toffee and hints of syrup and molasses, very fruity pasa-laden wine with a trace of tannin and a little acidity, but overall extremely sweet with good length.
Comments
A good young PX made in Sanlucar. The Alfaraz range seems to have been replaced by the Santiago range which the Cooperative now makes in Jerez.
Price
Not available in the UK.
