+--- Thread: Osborne Jerez Pedro Ximenez (/thread-19539.html)

I enjoy a glass of Jerez or Port once in a while (or every day...), so I was given this bottle of Jerez that is Hmm Hmm good!... but any way, my question is this.
This wine is very cloudy and has a lot of sediment on it. I'm not sure if this is normal for a Pedro Ximenez, or there is something wrong.
The taste is OK, except for the overwhelming sweetness, so I don't know if there is something wrong with it.
Also noticed that the label have the date of 1827. What do you think is the this date?

I don't think the cloudiness is normal. I just finished a half-bottle of Alvear 1927 Solera Pedro Ximenez and it was not cloudy. The year probably refers to a minute part of the wine that dates back to 1827 (or in my case to 1927). Barrels of wine are topped off from previous barrels so that the wine is a blend of many different vintages.

Just had a bottle of the '27 solera on Monday. Great stuff.
