Noé Pedro Ximénez VORS

In the glass

Aroma: concentrated raisins, dark coffee, leather, dried tobacco

Palate: tar, black figs, treacle, salted caramel

VORS PX from a solera over 30 years average age. Opaque near-black with extreme concentration: tar, treacle, dried tobacco and an extraordinary viscous finish.

What it pairs with

• Stilton or Gorgonzola
  The extreme sweetness and raisin intensity of VORS PX cuts through potent blue cheese fat.
• Espresso ice cream
  Coffee notes in the wine amplify the espresso and dairy chill combination.
• Mince pies or Christmas pudding
  The dried-fruit intensity of aged PX pairs naturally with rich Christmas spice confections.
