Fernando de Castilla Classic Oloroso

Jason Steel — Really nice sherry for the price

8/10

Picked this up after the guy at my local wine shop recommended it. Really expressive nose, you can smell it as soon as you pour. At £22 it's a solid buy — I've had worse for twice the price. Will definitely be getting another bottle.

Amira Benali — Goes down easy on a cold evening

7/10

Had this with some roast lamb on a Sunday and it was a great match. Not too boozy at 14%, nicely structured with a clean finish. It's the kind of thing I'd happily have a second glass of without thinking too hard about it. Would recommend for casual drinking.

Freya Lindqvist — Bit pricey for what it is

5/10

Look, it's a perfectly drinkable oloroso but I don't think it justifies the price tag. The nose promises more than the palate delivers in my opinion. I've had the Lustau equivalent and preferred it for a few quid less. Not bad, just not great value.
