Romate Old & Plus Pedro Ximenez Sherry / 20 Year Old

Olivia Park — Christmas present that blew me away

9/10

My wife got me this for Christmas and wow. The dried fruit flavours are incredible — like the best fig roll you've ever had but in a glass. It's sweet but not sickly, which I was worried about with a PX sherry. At £80 it's not cheap but honestly felt worth every penny for a special occasion bottle.

Isabella Rossi — Picked this up in Spain

9/10

Found a bottle of this at a wine shop in Jerez while on holiday and brought it home in my suitcase. So glad I did. It's beautifully balanced for something so sweet — you can tell the 20 years in solera have done their thing. The fig paste and dark fruit notes are spot on. Rationing myself to small glasses because I don't want it to run out.

Kenji Watanabe — Perfect after-dinner wine

9/10

Poured this after a Sunday roast instead of dessert and everyone went quiet for a second. It's rich and sweet but there's an acidity that stops it being too much. We had it with some stilton and it was absolutely perfect. The kind of bottle where you keep going back for just one more small glass.
