Pushing the limits of the sub-$25 price limit of the IVWA, the Garvey Pedro Ximenez (PX) was a favourite of the judges. Ink black with greenish tints in the glass, the aromas were primarily of raisins and sweet fruits, and the palate was slightly resinous, with pure and generous raisin flavours. This sherry manages to strike a near-perfect balance of intense sweetness and acidity. Pair with dried fruits, blue cheese, crème brûlée, or pour a little over good vanilla ice cream.
