Pedro Ximénez Tradición VORS 30 Years
HK$ 2,127.68
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
This is a new, sweet Pedro Ximénez, older than the VOS released previously, average aged 30-40 years. Up to now they have only bottled a younger and fresher PX, but as the solera has grown to include a few barrels that are considerably older it is now bottled for the first time and released as NV Pedro Ximénez VORS. With 409 grams of sugar it is incredibly dark and dense, almost black, with a bright amber, green border and a nose of caramel, a little burnt note, cigar ash, a touch of rusticity and flavors of toffee that are quite sweet but that shows a surprising high acidity. It is a beast. Only 300 bottles were filled in October 2014.

Description
In the heart of Jerez, where the oak casks keep centuries-old secrets, Bodegas Tradición gives life to one of its most exceptional wines: Pedro Ximénez Tradición VORS 30 Years. The fruit of an old and select solera, this wine is the result of a courageous decision: to bottle the oldest, densest and purest wine that the winery kept, without any touch-ups or concessions. Until then, only a younger PX was offered, but after discovering some butts with wines of outstanding age and depth, it was decided to bottle this extreme expression, in a very limited edition and unfiltered.
Winemaking
Pedro Ximénez Tradición VORS 30 Years is made from overripe, sun-ripened Pedro Ximénez grapes, aged for more than 40 years in old American oak casks under the traditional system of criaderas and soleras. The concentration is such that it barely flows, with over 409 g/L of residual sugar, balanced by a surprising natural acidity that sustains its monumental structure. Only 120 numbered bottles were filled in the first 2014 saca, straight from the butt, without stabilisation.
Taste
Visually Pedro Ximénez Tradición VORS 30 Years is almost black, with greenish and amber glints at the rim. The nose is intense and deep: toffee, burnt caramel, dried figs, cocoa, old varnish and cigar ash. On the palate it is pure density: extremely sweet, yes, but balanced by a vibrant acidity that makes it almost weightless despite its weight. Dark spices, candied orange peel, ground coffee, liquorice and saline hints intertwine in a timeless finish. This Pedro Ximénez Tradición VORS 30 Years is more than a sweet wine: it is a sensory experience for the initiated, a liquid relic that demands time, silence and reverence.
