Lustau San Emilio Pedro Ximénez Sherry

Jorge Castillo - Nice but very sweet for me

6/10

The guy at the wine shop recommended this when I said I wanted something different. It's well made and you can tell it's quality, but honestly it's sweeter than I expected even for a PX sherry. I had a small glass after dinner and that was plenty. Might work better as a dessert pairing than on its own.

Derek Chang - Great little after-dinner pour

7/10

Had this at a tapas restaurant and liked it enough to track down a bottle. The smell hits you straight away — dried fruits, almost like fig jam. It's sweet but has enough going on that it doesn't feel one-note. Good stuff for the price.

Clara Johansson - Converted my partner to sherry

8/10

My other half always said she hated sherry because her nan used to drink that pale dry stuff. Poured her a glass of this and she was genuinely shocked at how different it is. Super rich, loads of depth, and the sweetness is balanced really well. We finished the bottle over a weekend with some dark chocolate. Already ordered another one.

Marcus Blackwell - Christmas in a glass

8/10

Bought this for after Christmas dinner and it was a massive hit. Poured it over vanilla ice cream too which was incredible. Really rich and sweet but not in a sickly way — there's something almost raisiny and treacly about it that just works. At £28 it's not cheap but you don't need much per serving so it lasts.

Camila Ortiz - Solid PX, does what it should

7/10

I've tried a few Pedro Ximénez sherries now and this is a reliable one. Not the absolute best I've had but at this price point it's hard to complain. Clean finish that doesn't leave your mouth feeling sticky which is a problem with cheaper PX. Would buy again but wouldn't rush out for it.
