Barbadillo Criadera Selection Amontillado En Rama

Rafael Santos — Nice but not sure it's for me

6/10

Got this as part of a mixed case and I'm still figuring out amontillado to be honest. It's clearly well made — there's a lot going on if you pay attention — but I think I just prefer something a bit fruitier. My partner loved it though so maybe it's a me problem.

Helena Kosta — Birthday treat that delivered

8/10

Bought this for my birthday dinner and it was the star of the evening. Really expressive on the nose, you can tell straight away this is quality. The way the flavours build as you sip is brilliant — keeps revealing new stuff. At 14% it's dangerously easy to drink too.

Wei Zhang — Really impressed with this

8/10

Picked this up after the guy at the wine shop recommended it when I said I wanted to try sherry properly. The balance is genuinely impressive — nothing fights for attention, it just all works together. At £19.50 it feels like a steal for something this layered. Already gone back for another bottle.
