Fernando de Castilla Antique Amontillado

Benjamin Ross — Nice but a lot to spend on sherry

7/10

Got this as a birthday present and it's definitely good quality. Clean finish, interesting flavours that change as it opens up. But I'm not sure I'd buy it myself at nearly £47 — feels steep when you can get a solid amontillado for half that.

Sara Lindstrom — Proper sherry, this one

9/10

Picked this up after the guy at the wine shop recommended it when I said I wanted something different for a dinner party. Absolutely loved it — so much depth and complexity, and it just kept getting better as the evening went on. At £47 it's not cheap but honestly felt worth it for a special occasion.

Carlos Mendez — Really impressed

8/10

I'm not usually a sherry person but tried this at a tapas restaurant and had to track down a bottle. It's beautifully balanced, no harshness at all despite being a fortified wine. Sipped it slightly chilled with some almonds and manchego — perfect match.
