López Hermanos NV Don Juan Trasañejo Pedro Ximénez (Málaga)
- Editors' Choice
Super rich and syrupy, which is just the way you want it. But what makes it great is that there’s also a giant streak of balancing acidity that runs right up the gut. Reeking of prune, coffee and mocha is the nose, while the palate is pure bliss, a mix of spice, chocolate and raisin. A shining star from little-known Málaga.

Sanchez Romate NV Cardenal Cisneros Reservas Pedro Ximénez (Jerez)
- Best Buy
- $15
This reserve-level P.X. sets the gold standard for excellence in sweet sherry. The lovely bouquet straddles the line between unadulterated sweetness and impeccable slyness. The flavors of fig, chocolate, caramel, browned butter and cinnamon are amazing. So chewy and thick, but balanced by firm acids. Brilliant.

Alvear NV Solera 1927 Pedro Ximénez (Montilla-Moriles)
- Editors' Choice
- $25
A rank well above most PX sweeties, with lush but fresh aromas of raisin and spice that are distinctly not syrupy or heavy. Feels thick, but there’s enough acidity to cut through the wine’s weight. Flavors of caramel and chocolate are ideal, and the finish is smooth, not heavy, and has bounce in its step. A beautiful PX any way you cut it.

Bodegas Toro Albala, SL 2004 Don PX Pedro Ximénez (Montilla-Moriles)
- Editors' Choice
- $29
Ultra concentrated and sticky, with unctuous but wholesome raisin aromas taken to a level that’s almost heavenly. In the mouth, the maple, cinnamon and brown sugar flavors are lusty and satisfying, and the finish never ends. This is P.X. in awesome form.

González Byass NV Noe Viejo Pedro Ximénez (Jerez)
- Editors' Choice
- $49
Perfectly sweet, unctuous and rich, with lush coffee and cocoa aromas that indicate that complexity is coming. That promise is rewarded on the palate, which hits fifth gear in seconds flat. Flavorwise, it’s complex and balanced, with good acidity forcing up orange and honey flavors in addition to raisin and brown sugar. A Wow wine where there finish lasts for…

Sandeman NV Royal Ambrosante Aged 20 Years Old Solera Pedro Ximénez (Jerez)
- Editors' Choice
- $24
Sandeman excels with its reserve-level sherries, as is exemplified by this stand-out PX. Figs and raisins are front and center throughout, but it never sits heavily on your palate. Just the opposite, there’s plow-through acidity that creates a brilliant mouthfeel and the sensation of freshness. Fabulous by itself or on top of vanilla ice cream.

Alvear 2004 Anada Pedro Ximénez (Montilla-Moriles)
- $18
Molasses, spice, chocolate and pure raisins define this as classic P.X. It’s syrupy but not too much so, with maple, cinnamon and brown sugar flavors. For a sweet and candied dessert wine, it has excellent balance and persistence. A star among many in this category; these wines are hard not to like.

Bodegas Dios Baco S.L. NV Pedro Ximénez (Jerez)
- $15
It’s easy to throw high scores at almost any well-made P.X. because the wines are so viscous and overwhelmingly sweet. And while this one fits that bill, it has a couple of holes in it, namely a nose that stumbles out of the gate and a mouthfeel that’s almost too thick and rich. Very nice but not at that ultrahigh level.
