I love fino. I think sherry is slowly winning the battle against the Harvery's-Bristol-Cream-sipping granny image it needs to shake off in the UK, but there's still a way to go before it gets on the radar of most shoppers looking for something to go with dinner. This is beautiful and complex on the nose, with aromas of sweet fennel seed and pine, fresh seville oranges, almonds oyster. That 'seaside' element is quite strong here, like wet pebbles on the beach. There's real savoury intensity on the palate, with more of that sweet and salty oyster flavour, finishing with almonds and a gentle floral lift. Just love it
