View All (7)I've had a few Pedro Ximenez sherries and this is a solid one for under £15. You get the classic raisin and prune thing but there's a roasted almond flavour that gives it a bit more going on. Finish goes on forever. Would buy again.
14 March 2026Got recommended this by a guy in Majestic and it's decent. Lots of prune and caramel going on, almost like a liquid Christmas pudding. I liked it but my partner thought it was too sweet. Good with cheese though.
7 March 2026Tried this at a friend's house and it was a bit much for me. Very intense molasses and dried fruit flavours. I can see why people like it but I think I prefer something lighter. The almond nuttiness was nice though.
