Fernando de Castilla Antique Palo Cortado

Amira Benali — Good not great

7/10

Decent wine, well made for sure. Nice balance and the fruit comes through cleanly without being overpowering. But at £53.50 I've had bottles at half the price that excited me more. It's a bit too restrained for my taste — I like something with a bit more punch. Would still recommend trying it though.

Olivia Wong — Wow, what a find

9/10

Picked this up after the guy at my local wine shop wouldn't stop going on about it. He was right — it's seriously good. Complex and layered but not in a way that makes you feel like you need a degree to appreciate it. The finish just lingers and lingers. Worth every penny of the £53.

Jason Steel — Absolute stunner

9/10

Saw this on a restaurant menu and took a chance on it. So glad I did. There's a real elegance to it — structured and complex but nothing feels out of place. The acidity keeps it fresh and the finish goes on forever. Already ordered a couple of bottles online.
