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.
