  Very sweet and thick with strong apple flavors. Went very well with apple pie. Delicious over vanilla ice cream.

  Might be my first Sherry experience. Food & Wine recommendation. Dark brown color. Dominated by prunes with subtle caramel and toffee flavors. Good with cigars.

  A: Medium brown
  N: Pronounced nose of molasses, dried figs, raisins, dried dates, dried pineapple, mild liquorice
  P: Sweet, low acid, low alcohol (15%), medium (+) intensity, medium finish (the sugar is persisting longer than the flavor)
  C: Not at all balanced between sugar and acid. cloying. Length lacking too. Good quality here. Not as crazy about this as when I first opened the bottle.

  D5 DipWSET FORTIFIED WINES - home prep: A: Medium brown
  N: Pronounced nose of honey, dried dates, dried figs, molasses, raisins, prunes, bay leaf, dried pineapple
  Sweet, low alcohol, full body, medium (-) acidity (surmised, perceived a bit higher), medium intensity and medium (-) finish
  The alcohol isn't balancing the sugar here and it feels too cloying. The fruit is ill defined and its the sugar that persists on the finish. Some complexity here and so its a good quality wine at best.
  I have had much better examples of PX. This one is disappointing but served too warm.
  
  Not suitable for ageing. Made for consumption soon after release.
  
  THis gives PX a bad name OR so I thought till a few days later when I tasted this at a cooler temperature. Far more balanced and less cloying
