97 points Decanter: "100% Pedro Ximenez. A wonderful rich aromatic nose full of nuts and raisins, the palate has a savoury, salty, caramel intensity, bruised red apple fruit, bergamot and caramelised orange peel, underpinned by terrific citrus energy, and fantastic length. Alcohol 22.0%. (DWWA 2018)"
94-96 points Luis Gutiérrez (Wine Advocate): "The 1964 Palo Cortado Marqués de Poley Selección was aged in a solera system of which 50 botas remain. It's a very old fortified wine produced with Pedro Ximénez grapes, aged in well-seasoned American oak barrels. It is full-bodied, which hints at an Oloroso origin, and has the aromas of a very old wine with rusty nail, saltpeter, low tide, phosphor and matchstick notes with a volatile twist. Wines like this are not meant to be consumed by the general public (the price already prevents that) as their style is not easy to appreciate and might seem aggressive to some. Drink: 2017-2024. (Dec 2017)"
94 points Peñín Guide to Spanish Wine: "Colour: iodine, Borde ambarino. Aroma: powerful, complex, elegant, dry nuts. Flavour: rich, long, fine solera notes, spicy. (Apr 2021)"
