Barbadillo Principe Amontillado 12 Year Old: Rich Heritage in a Glass

Benjamin Ross — Proper grown-up sherry

9/10

Picked this up after the guy in the wine shop said it was brilliant value for a 12 year old amontillado. He was right — it's got this amazing nutty, chocolatey thing going on with a salty edge that makes it weirdly refreshing for something at 19.5%. Absolutely loved it with some manchego and olives on a Friday night.

Ryan Mitchell — Interesting, takes some getting used to

7/10

First time trying an amontillado so I wasn't totally sure what to expect. It's quite intense — lots of dried fig and spice, almost like marmalade on the nose. The dry finish caught me off guard but it grew on me over the evening. Decent for the price, glad I tried something different.

Jackson Wu — Nice but not sure I'd rebuy

7/10

Got this as part of a sherry tasting we did for my mate's birthday. It's good — dried fruit and walnut flavours, and the finish goes on forever. Just not sure it's £20 good when I can get a decent bottle of red for that. Would probably have it again at a restaurant though.
