Lustau Rio Viejo Oloroso Seco-Dry Sherry

Marco Andretti — Not bad but not my thing

6/10

My partner loves sherry so I got this for her birthday. It's decent — very dry and savoury, almost like a stock cube flavour if that makes sense? I can see why people rate it but I think I just prefer something sweeter. She loved it though so job done I suppose.

Kai Oliveira — Great with cheese and charcuterie

7/10

We had this at a dinner party with a big cheese board and some cured meats and it was absolutely perfect. The almond and orange peel flavours really come through. At 20% it's strong stuff though, so pace yourself. Would buy again for sure.

Elena Vasquez — Solid everyday sherry

7/10

Saw this on a menu at a tapas place and liked it enough to track down a bottle. It's well balanced — quite savoury and nutty but the acidity stops it feeling too heavy. Nice with some marcona almonds in front of the telly. Good but not mindblowing.
