    Heritage & Format
    The 1977 Don PX Selección, presented in a petite 20 cl petaca bottle, represents a notable release from Toro Albalá’s prized vintage line. Although 1977 was not among the standout years in Montilla-Moriles, Toro Albalá’s expertise ensures that even less heralded vintages deliver compelling concentration and nuance—especially when bottled in an intimate format designed for tasting and collection.

    Aroma & Visual Identity
    In the glass, this aged PX carries a deep mahogany tone with an oily sheen and slow, syrupy legs. The aroma profile likely includes concentrated dried fruit such as raisins, figs, and toffee, enriched by nutty coffee depth, subtle caramel, and warming spice notes like cinnamon or clove. With exposure to air, hints of licorice, leather, and cedar may emerge, lending a graceful oxidative character typical of long-aged PX.

    Palate & Balance
    Even at this small size, the wine would deliver a sumptuous, velvety mouthfeel. Its natural sweetness is matched by surprising acidity and just enough bitterness to provide structure—think dark chocolate, burnt sugar, and a dry edge reminiscent of espresso. Layers of prunes, molasses, and dried citrus zest would unfold, culminating in a long, warming finish with echoes of rancio and spice that linger delicately.

    Serving & Enjoyment
    Best enjoyed well chilled and poured in small portions, this edition is ideal for contemplative tasting or special gifting. It pairs beautifully with chocolate desserts, aged blue cheeses, or fig pâté—but can also be savoured alone as a tiny window into Toro Albalá’s pedigree. Though rare and modest in size, the 1977 Don PX Selección 20 cl offers a focused heritage experience in every sip.

    The 1980 Don PX Selección is said to come from a warm and dry year that favored the raisining of the Pedro Ximénez grapes. This has lots of candied fruit and spice and combines the 17% alcohol with a whopping 340 grams of residual sugar. This aged in American oak butts until its bottling in September 2018. It surprised me with a complex and somewhat savory nose, reminiscent of bitter chocolate, licorice and roasted coffee, carob beans and black pepper. It's super concentrated, dense and pungent, with a savory component, meaning the sugar is not as noticeable as you might think. It came through as complex and layered, very complete and intense. There are 4,600 bottles and 60 magnums of this.
