Kai Oliveira VIPsAllowed — Impressive stuff
8/10

Picked this up after reading about VORS sherries and wanting to try one. The balance is spot on — it's rich and full but never feels heavy or too sweet. That long spicy finish is the real highlight for me.

7/10

Saw this on a menu at a wine bar and liked it enough to order a bottle online. It's really good — nutty and rich with a nice salty edge. Only gripe is I slightly prefer a drier style of amontillado, this one leans a bit more towards the sweet/rich side for my taste.

9/10

Had this at a tapas restaurant and immediately tracked down a bottle. There's this salty, almost coastal thing going on underneath all the dark fruit and nut flavours that makes it completely addictive. Absolutely phenomenal with some hard cheese and almonds.
