Barbadillo Oloroso Full Dry

Jason Steel — Good dinner party sherry

6/10

Brought this along to a friend's paella night and it was a hit. Nice warming nose on it, quite concentrated and complex without being heavy. At 14% it's easy to keep sipping. Would buy again for that kind of occasion but probably wouldn't reach for it on a random Tuesday.

Sophia Laurent — Barbadillo know what they're doing

7/10

I've been getting into sherries lately and this Oloroso is a great entry point. Bone dry, clean finish, and the balance is spot on — nothing harsh about it at all. Under £15 as well which is a bargain compared to some of the fancier ones I've tried that didn't taste much better.

Yasmine Najjar — Not really my thing

5/10

Got this as part of a mixed case and it was a bit too dry and oxidised for me honestly. I can tell it's well made but I think I just prefer something fruitier. My dad loved it though so maybe it's more of an acquired taste. Decent enough at £15 but I wouldn't buy it again myself.
