677. Gonzalez-Byass, Tio Pepe En Rama Fino Sherry, NV (2012)
I tried the 3rd release in The Vineyard, Dorking, and was struck by its quite meaty finish – reminiscent of roast chicken juices. So …
669. Harvey’s, Palo Cortado Sherry, NV (2011)
A touch woody, and slightly alcoholic on the finish are the only detractions from an otherwise very good drink. Though labelled “exceptional age”, this …
653. Gonzalez-Byass, Tres Palmas Fino Sherry, NV (2012)
Hot on the tail of the 2nd Tip Pepe ‘En Rama’ bottlings, Gonzalez-Byass came out with this series of differently aged Fino bottlings: 1, …
631. Pedro Domecq, Capuchino Viejisimo Palo Cortado Sherry VORS, NV (2011)
A second in Domecq’s VORS ‘designer’-styled set, and aptly-named from a flavour profile. Also, another very good, old Palo Cortado. Deep amber – with …
630. Sanchez Romate, Maribel Amontillado Sherry, NV (2011)
The Sherry Odyssey continues… Another from Romate, and The Wine Society. A pretty good, off-dry Amontillado, very much in the nutty style. Medium-depth copper …
621. Sanchez Romate, Perdido 1/15 Fino Sherry, NV (2011)

595. Sanchez Romate, Cayetano del Pino Viejisimo 1/5 Palo Cortado Sherry VORS, NV (2011)
A pretty good Palo Cortado in the nutty, woody style. Mid-amber with a broad, golden rim. Wood-led, fairly intense nose: polished mahogany, walnut marzipan, …
582. Gonzalez-Byass, Tio Pepe En Rama Fino Sherry, NV (2011)
The 2nd release of Tio Pepe’s limited edition – bottled unfiltered from the heart of the cask, at the height of flor growth. I’m …
579. Rey Fernando de Castilla, Antique Amontillado Sherry, NV (2011)
A notable bottle-deposit – is this unfiltered? Either way, a pretty good Amontillado. A little more ‘mainstream’ perhaps than Bota No. 23, and probably …
577. Equipo Navazos, La Bota de Amontillado No. 23 Sherry, NV (2011)
More from Navazos, and pretty good too. Pale-medium amber, with a broad, watery rim. When cold, smoky, slightly meaty / rubbery – more than …
