Williams & Humbert, Don Zoilo 12 Year Old Pedro Ximénez, Jerez

A half-bottle for under a tenner? A no-brainer, especially with Christmas approaching. With 380g/L residual sugar, it's a dessert in itself – try serving it over vanilla ice cream. Glass- and mouth-coating, it's deep in colour and rich with plump curranty fruit, figs and toffee. The acidity keeps it fresh, despite the whack of sugar.
