Reservas Especiales Palo Cortado Regente Sherry / Romate: A Fortified Masterclass

Priya Sharma — Solid palo cortado

7/10

I've been working my way through different sherry styles and this is a really solid palo cortado. Good balance between the richness and the acidity. The fig and caramel notes are bang on. £38 is about right for the quality, maybe slightly high but not outrageous.

Tyler Bennet — Not sure it's for me

6/10

The wine shop guy recommended this when I said I wanted to try sherry. It's very intense — loads of raisin and fig on the nose which was nice, but the whole thing was a bit much for me. I can see why people rate it but I think I prefer something lighter. Might stick to fino.

Diana Cruz — Great with cheese

7/10

Had this with a big cheese board and some walnuts and it was a perfect match. Really rich and figgy but that acidity stops it being heavy. Would buy again but probably only for specific occasions at that price.
