Alvear Pedro Ximénez De Anada 2003 from Spain is 17%abv / 34 proof because it is a mildly fortified wine, and has a phenomenal natural level of 465 grams of sugar per liter. The color of this wine is a coppery orange brown with an exceptionally thick and heavy body. You could use a spoon to drink this luscious wine, heck it's almost thick enough to use a fork.

The aroma is full of fresh dates and figs, while the taste is very broad and complex with dates, figs, English toffee, raisins, as well as a hint of warm spices like mace, clove, and Vietnamese cinnamon. It is a full, full flavor that is soft and furry, and explodes on your tongue with every sip, ending with a strong, long, and lingering finish.
