Reservas Especiales Palo Cortado Regente Sherry / Romate: A Fortified Masterclass

Erik Strom — Birthday treat that delivered

8/10

My wife got me this for my birthday after I started getting into sherries. The depth on this is unreal — dark toffee, hazelnuts, dried fruit, all that good stuff. And the dry tangy finish is so moreish. 20% ABV sneaks up on you though, fair warning.

Marcus Blackwell — Genuinely blown away

Saw this on a restaurant menu and ordered a glass on a whim. Ended up buying a bottle the next day. The nose hit me straight away — raisins and toffee — and the palate is just layers and layers of flavour. That dry finish is incredible, it just makes you want another sip immediately.

Felix Moreau — Not sure it's for me

6/10

The wine shop guy recommended this when I said I wanted to try sherry. It's very intense — loads of raisin and fig on the nose which was nice, but the whole thing was a bit much for me. I can see why people rate it but I think I prefer something lighter. Might stick to fino.
