Berry Bros. & Rudd Amontillado

I needed a dash of sherry for a recipe and once opened, it seem daft not to have a small glass as an aperitif. So glad I did, it was heavenly. Refreshing, dry, nutty, complicated and simple all at the same time. Amontillado starts life as a Fino or Manzanilla sherry but is generally richer, fuller and darker thanks to longer ageing without the layer of special sherry yeast beast flor to protect it. Amazing value for such a smart (fortified) wine.
