Pedro Ximénez 1827

In the glass

Aroma: raisins, molasses, dark chocolate, coffee, caramel

Palate: prune jam, espresso, black treacle, dried dates

PX from Osborne's 1827 solera: intensely concentrated and syrupy with espresso, dark chocolate and prune character from nearly two centuries of solera refinement.

What it pairs with

• Vanilla ice cream (poured over)
  The standard PX service; contrast of cold vanilla and warm molasses-intensity.
• Dark chocolate fondant
  Coffee and dark chocolate in both wine and cake are amplified by the pairing.
• Gorgonzola Dolce
  Sweet-salty contrast: the wine's intense sweetness cuts through mild blue cheese.
