Wei Zhang — Birthday splurge that delivered

9/10

Bought this for my 50th and wow. The complexity is insane — every sip gives you something different and the finish just hangs around forever. At £130 it's not cheap but honestly for a special occasion sherry this good, I'd do it again.

Derek Chang — Best sherry I've ever had

10/10

My wife and I tried this at a restaurant in Jerez last year and I've been chasing it ever since. Finally tracked a bottle down online. The balance between the richness and that sharp acidity is just perfect. This is the bottle that made me actually understand what good sherry can be.

Marcus Blackwell — Converted a sherry skeptic

9/10

I always thought sherry was that sweet stuff my nan drinks at Christmas. A mate poured me this blind and I couldn't believe it. So dry and structured, almost like a really good aged wine. The acidity cuts right through and keeps everything fresh. Absolutely loved it.
