Highlighting the frankly absurd value offered by Sherry has become a bit of a wine writerly cliché. Apologies, then, for the following: this oloroso is absurd value for money. Made by the ever-consistent Emilio Lustau, it’s a wonderfully brisk, concentrated, racy orange-citrus example of the flor-free style. A perfect cheese-course partner and aperitif with complex flavours of nuts, dried apricots and figs.
