Romate Cardenal Cisneros Pedro Ximénez Sherry

Most PX justify their existence on youthful, unbridled, dark fiendish sweetness. But with its 20-year-old reserve wines, Romate’s special Cardenal Cisneros bottling imparts a wonderful savoury balance throughout.

Complex notes of spice and liquorice dart among a heady essence of raisin, bitter chocolate and prune. With fine grippy tannins holding their own, this is svelte sweet sherry with complexity and dimension.
