Really surprised me
Picked this up after the guy at the wine shop recommended it when I said I wanted something different for a cheese board. I don't usually go for sherry but this completely changed my mind — it's got this nutty, dry thing going on that just works. At £30 it's not cheap but honestly felt worth it for something this interesting.

Proper sherry, not the stuff your nan drinks
If you think sherry is just sweet Christmas stuff then try this. Completely different — dry and complex with layers of flavour that keep coming. Every sip I noticed something new. Romate clearly know what they're doing with amontillado. Would absolutely have this again with some cured meats and hard cheese.

Good but not sure I'd rebuy
Had this at a friend's dinner party and thought it was nice enough to grab a bottle myself. It's well made and the flavours keep shifting which is cool, but at 20% it's a sipper not a drinker and £30 feels steep for something I'd only have a small glass of. Decent with some almonds though.

Perfect after-dinner drink
Bought this for my dad's birthday because he's been getting into sherries lately. We cracked it open after Sunday roast and it went down really well — clean, dry, not too sweet. The acidity cuts through nicely so it doesn't feel as heavy as you'd expect at 20%. He loved it, already asked for another bottle.
