Sherry rocks
Three sherries that rock. Marks & Spencer Manzanilla Sherry NV
15% alcohol, from Williams & Humbert. Fresh, salty, nutty nose is complex with some smoky notes. The palate is dry and fresh with some appley, salty character and nice texture. Fresh and intense with savoury complexity. Versatile food wine. 89/100

Gonzalez Byass Matusalem Oloroso Dulce Muy Viejo
20.5% alcohol. Deep brown colour. Wonderfully complex, almost perfect nose with citrus fruit, raisins, old furniture, lifted acidity, tar, fudge and spice notes. The palate has wonderful balance between the rich, bold, raisiny, earthy, spicy notes and the fresh citrussy acidity. Complex and brilliant. 95/100 (Wine Rack, Waitrose)

Thank you for keeping me up with the wine suggestions. What a wonderful blog. I spend all week making rebuilt engines and when I get home I just want to enjoy a nice glass of red. I prefer Pinot Noir, but I've tried a little of everything. Sherry makes a great dessert wine. Try San Sebastians Castillo Red, very nice dry red. It's made in St Augustine Fl the nations first city. Well, back to the engine shop. Keep up the great suggestions and tips.
Very glad to see sherry getting a plug. That Matusalem is delicious.
