Amontillado Medium Dry Sherry

Last Friday, I stopped by an old friend’s house and, it being past six o’clock, I was offered a small glass of sherry rather than a cup of tea. How lovely! And an Amontillado too, darker than Fino but not as dark as Oloroso. This one’s made by Lustau no less, a tip-top Sherry maker. With a touch of sweetness, think hazelnuts and figs in liquid form. Absolutely delicious served cool (but not chilled) in small measures, enough to catch up on vital gossip news. Bowl of nuts a must.
