Alvear Pedro Ximenez Solera 1910 NV 375ml between-five-bells wines of ProvenceThe amazing, pedal to the metal full throttle balls to the wall, sweet 1910 Pedro Ximenez Solera is a dark amber colored, full bodied, unctuously textured beauty that should be sipped and savored slowly and carefully at the end of a meal with a plate of cashews. It is remarkable stuff. The price is not high for what it represents.
