Nice little discovery
Picked this up on a whim from an online wine sale. Really clean finish and it doesn't taste as boozy as you'd expect from 20%. Goes surprisingly well with salty snacks. Good value at this price point.

Proper sherry, this one
I'm not usually a sherry drinker but the guy at my local wine shop talked me into trying this. Really glad he did — it's dry and clean with a proper kick at 20%. Sipped it slowly with some almonds and olives on a Friday night and it was perfect.

Dinner party hit
Served this chilled as an aperitif at a dinner party and everyone asked about it. There's a real complexity to it that rewards slow sipping — one friend said it was the most interesting thing she'd drunk all year. Already ordered another bottle.

Solid fino
Had this at a tapas restaurant and liked it enough to track down a bottle. It's honest sherry, no nonsense. Nose tells you exactly what you're getting and the palate delivers. Good acidity too, keeps it fresh despite the higher ABV.

Underrated style of wine
People sleep on fino sherry and it drives me mad. This Gutierrez Colosia is a perfect example of why — complex, bone dry, loads of character. The finish just keeps going. Under £18 as well, which is a steal for something this good.

Not really my thing
Tried this because I'm attempting to get into sherry. It's well made I think but just too dry and intense for my taste. The alcohol hit surprised me a bit at 20%. Might work better if you're already a sherry fan.

Great with tapas
Bought this for a Spanish food night we were doing at home. It's bone dry and has a lot going on flavour-wise, way more interesting than I expected from a sherry. At £18 it's not bad either. Will definitely buy again.

Bit strong for me
My partner loves sherry so I grabbed this as a birthday present. I tried some and it's nice enough but 20% ABV is a lot — I could really feel the alcohol. She loved it though so what do I know.
