Lea & Sandeman review
The best PX available. So rich, so sweet and yet so moreish. (Must be tried poured over ice cream with raisins soaked overnight in PX)Other reviews and comments
Not even the gimmicky seal, complete with padlock, can detract from the quality found within. A great colour here, a deep, dark, golden red-brown. Dripping with rich complexity on the nose; molasses, treacle, smoke and vegetal axle-grease notes prevail. Unctuous palate with bags of impact, a huge, sweet, treacly style. Only moderate acidity which emphasises the treacly, cigary richness. Great length. Very good indeed.

This is a staggeringly rich, sweet, deep colored sherry that has amazing complexity and represents a super value. The bouquet of caramel, roasted nuts and the buttery, creamy richness in the palate are extremely seductive. Serve this gorgeous sherry as a dessert at a cool, not cold temperature.
94/100
