Nia Okafor — Good but bit pricey for what it is

6/10

The wine shop guy talked me into this over a cheaper oloroso and honestly I'm not sure the extra money was worth it. It's nice enough — smooth, quite complex, decent finish. But at over £30 I expected to be blown away and I wasn't. Fine wine, just not amazing value.

Helena Kosta — Interesting change of pace

7/10

Saw this on a restaurant menu and figured I'd try something different. I don't drink much sherry but this was really balanced and easy to enjoy. Loads of layers to it if you pay attention. Looked up the price afterwards and it's reasonable for the quality — might grab a bottle for the house.

Marianne Blom — Birthday treat that delivered

8/10

Got this as a birthday present for myself because I've been getting into sherry lately. The nose is gorgeous, really warming and nutty without being overpowering. Only 14% as well so you can actually have a couple of glasses without it flooring you. Genuinely lovely stuff.
