Description

Heritage & Format
The 1956 Don PX Convento Selección is a prestigious, single-vintage Pedro Ximénez crafted by Toro Albalá, with grapes aged for nearly six decades in seasoned Amontillado oak butts. In 2014, this extraordinary wine was bottled in small artisan 20 cl “petaca” flasks—a unique collector’s format that reflects the estate’s dedication to traditional craftsmanship and historical legacy.

Aroma & Appearance
Visually, the wine is intensely dark—almost black—with thick, slow-moving legs that reveal its rich texture and age. The nose is deeply expressive, offering layers of fig, caramel, toasted nuts, chocolate, and roasted coffee, all wrapped in sweet spice and a hint of candied citrus. Subtle notes of herbs and balsamic lift the aromas, adding elegance and balance to the wine’s opulent character.

Palate & Balance
On the palate, the 1956 Selección is velvety, powerful, and concentrated. Its natural sweetness is perfectly offset by bright acidity and a gentle bitterness reminiscent of dark cocoa and orange peel. Flavours of molasses, dates, espresso, and aged wood evolve across the tongue, delivering extraordinary complexity and a finish that seems to linger endlessly. It’s an exceptional PX—bold, structured, and finely tuned despite its age.

Serving & Pairing
This compact 20 cl edition is ideal for intimate moments and contemplative tasting. Best served slightly chilled in small pours, it pairs beautifully with blue cheeses, rich chocolate desserts, or simply enjoyed on its own after a fine meal. Its longevity and intensity make it a perfect gift or a treasured indulgence for collectors and lovers of historic Spanish wines.
