Cardenal Cisneros, Pedro Ximenz


So I know this may sounds weird, but I like layovers. I mean as long as I don't have to wait more than 3 hours in an airport, I enjoy looking around and tasting little things found in that particular country. On our last layover, with 3 hours to loose, we chowed on a few tapas and then passed by the food and wine store to pick up a bottle Pedro Ximenez in the Madrid airport. Cardenal Cisneros produces a wonderfully smooth and rich Pedro Ximenez sherry that tastes almost like your drinking raisins. A dark syrupy brown with long thick legs which left a film on the glass. Hints of brown sugar, mint, dried fig and apricot made this wine light and refreshing. The taste was definitely super sweet but not unbearable. It coated our mouth and warmed out throats, just like a good sherry should. We want something pairable that can balance out the sweetness so a semi-sweet dry desert would be your best bet, like dry sugar cookies or Italian pastries.

So che può sembrare strano, ma non mi dispiace passare il mio tempo negli aeroporti. Almeno che non debba aspettare per piu di tre ore.Può essere una buona opportunità di assaggiare cibi di altre paesi. Per esempio, nel nostro ultimo viaggio avevamo tre ore di 'layover' nell' aeroporto di Madrid. Dopo aver mangiato qualche tapasin un bar, al negozio di vino e cibo abbiamo preso una bottiglia di Pedro Ximenez sherry. L'azienda Cardenal Cismeros ne produce una versione stupendamente liscia e ricca. Pedro Ximenez al palato sembra quasi una spremuta di uvette. Marrone scuro e sciropposo con lunghe lacrime sulle pareti del bicchiere . Sfumature di zucchero di canna, menta, fico secco e albicocca . Il gusto era ovviamente molto dolce ma non stucchevole. Ha ricoperto le nostre bocche e scaldato le nostre gole, come un buon sherry dovrebbe saper fare. Se vogliamo qualcosa da abbinare che possa bilanciare la dolcezza del vino forse un biscotto o altri dolci secchi serebbero le scelte migliori.
