Lustau Pedro Ximenez San Emilio Sherry 750ml

Bodegas Lustau is a Sherry house in Jerez de la Frontera, Spain. San Emilio is its Pedro Ximénez, sold in the house's Solera Familiar range; older labels call it Solera Reserva.

It's made from 100% Pedro Ximénez grapes that are sun-dried until they are nearly raisins, then aged in a solera with an average age of 12 years. It's a naturally very sweet Sherry at 17% alcohol.

It pours dark mahogany, with raisins, figs, molasses and spice, lifted by floral and citrus notes, and a full, long palate with enough acidity to keep it from cloying.

Against Lustau Los Arcos Amontillado Sherry, San Emilio is the house's sweet, raisined dessert Sherry; for an after-dinner pour or dessert pairing, choose San Emilio.

Serve it lightly chilled, at 50 to 54°F, pour it over vanilla ice cream, or pair it with rich desserts and blue cheese. Above it in Lustau's PX range sit the Murillo PX and a 30-year VORS.
