Harveys Amontillado Medium Dry Sherry

Felix Moreau - Decent but not blown away

6/10

The guy at Majestic suggested this when I said I wanted to try sherry. It's alright — nutty, balanced, drinkable enough. But at 20% ABV it crept up on me faster than I expected and for £15.50 I think I was hoping for a bit more complexity. Might try something from an actual bodega next time.

I'm trying to learn more about fortified wines and this seemed like a safe bet. It's got a proper warmth to it and you can taste the fruit alongside the dry nuttiness. Not life-changing but genuinely enjoyable, and the long finish keeps things interesting. Would recommend to anyone who thinks they don't like sherry.

Natasha Volkov - Really surprised by this one

8/10

Picked this up from Tesco on a whim because I fancied something different with cheese and crackers. The nutty smell hit me straight away — properly sherryish, if that's a word. For £15 odd quid you get something that actually tastes like it should cost more. Will definitely be buying again.

Bought this for our Boxing Day spread and it went down a storm with the stilton and walnuts. Everyone kept asking what it was. Really clean taste that doesn't leave a weird aftertaste like some sherries do. The nuttiness is lovely and it's got more going on than you'd think from a supermarket sherry.

Haruki Sato - Solid for the price

7/10

My dad always drank Harveys so I grabbed a bottle when I saw it. It's medium dry like it says on the label, not too sweet which I appreciated. There's a nice depth to it and the finish hangs around just enough to make you want another glass. Good honest sherry, nothing fancy but does the job well.
