NV Emilio Lustau Pedro Ximenez San Emilio

Peter Moser - Falstaff

Deep brown mahogany, with subtle gold reflections and a greenish touch. On the nose there's a fine sweetness of dried figs and dates, raisins, nougat and sweet spices. It's juicy, with a velvety texture on the palate that also shows a peppery honeyed touch. Salty underlying milk chocolate on the finish which is persistent and very elegant. A smooth style and great introduction into the world of PX.

Amazing wine - coffee, licorice, tea. Long. Green-rimmed. Very impressive

Michael Schachner - Wine Enthusiast

With piercing aromas of raisin pudding, molasses and spice, this rolls out the welcome mat and more. Luscious is probably as tame as you can put it; this is a ribald sweet wine with acidic backbone and hugely intense flavors of baked brown sugar, cinnamon cake and molasses. Powerful but still racy due to bracing acidity. About as good as it gets with P.X.

Stuart Pigott - JamesSuckling.com

An excellent introduction to this extreme category. Intense caramelized-grapefruit character with plenty of toffee aroma. However, for a pedro ximénez, this has a certain lightness of touch and the sweetness is restrained. Long, raisiny but clean finish.
