Harveys Amontillado Medium Dry Sherry

Felix Moreau — Decent but not blown away

6/10

The guy at Majestic suggested this when I said I wanted to try sherry. It's alright — nutty, balanced, drinkable enough. But at 20% ABV it crept up on me faster than I expected and for £15.50 I think I was hoping for a bit more complexity. Might try something from an actual bodega next time.

7/10

I'm trying to learn more about fortified wines and this seemed like a safe bet. It's got a proper warmth to it and you can taste the fruit alongside the dry nuttiness. Not life-changing but genuinely enjoyable, and the long finish keeps things interesting. Would recommend to anyone who thinks they don't like sherry.

Natasha Volkov — Really surprised by this one

8/10

Picked this up from Tesco on a whim because I fancied something different with cheese and crackers. The nutty smell hit me straight away — properly sherryish, if that's a word. For £15 odd quid you get something that actually tastes like it should cost more. Will definitely be buying again.
