Perfect with cheese and chocolate
Had this at a friend's place with a cheese board and some dark chocolate and it was amazing. Really intense dried fruit character, almost like liquid Christmas cake. The sweetness is there but it's balanced — didn't feel heavy even after a couple of glasses. Already ordered a bottle for myself.

Christmas dessert wine sorted forever
Bought this for Christmas dinner to go with the pudding and honestly it stole the show. So rich and sweet but not in a sickly way — loads of dried fruit flavour and it just lingers beautifully. At £38 it's not cheap but it's a proper treat and the bottle lasts ages since you only pour small glasses. Will be buying again next December for sure.

Nice but maybe not £38 nice
The wine shop guy recommended this when I said I wanted something sweet for after dinner. It's good, really concentrated raisin-y flavour and smooth, but I'm not sure I'd pay nearly forty quid again when there are decent PX sherries for half the price. That said the finish is really clean and it doesn't leave that sticky feeling some sweet wines do.

Great sherry for people who think they don't like sherry
Picked this up after trying PX for the first time at a tapas place and wanting to find a good one. This is lovely — proper depth to it, not just sweet for the sake of being sweet. You can tell there's quality there. Poured some over vanilla ice cream the other night and my partner who claims to hate sherry asked for seconds.
