This is an authentic Amontillado (the most mature of the dry sherries) from the small family firm of Hidalgo. Dry with enticing nutty flavours but with a mouthwatering, pungent, yeasty tang. Delicious served slightly cool.

Krug Vintage 1998
Vintage Krug is exuberant, elegant and distinguished with a bold, golden colour and lively, flowery aromas. It is rich in flavour, with notes of orange blossom, dried fig, very ripe quince and sweet spices.
Dom Pérignon Oenotheque 1995
Dom Pérignon reserve a small amount of each vintage they make in a dedicated area of their cellars known as 'Oenotheque'. The wines receive longer lees ageing than regular releases and are only made available when the chef de cave determines that they are ready.
Piper-Heidsieck Brut NV
Since 1990, winemaker Daniel Thibault has turned around this famous old house, making the style more forward and approachable. Medium weight, with a good balance of rich fruit and refreshing citrussy edge which really shines on the finish, this is a Champagne for drinking now.
Perrier-Jouët Vintage 1998
The freshness of the house style shines through with zesty citrus and apple fruits, developing a honeyed complexity with age
Pol Roger Réserve NV
Winston Churchill's favourite house produces a classically styled Champagne of considerable class. Floral and soft in extreme youth, the Pinot Noir soon reveals itself in a firm yet creamy structure, with plenty of zesty fruit and true depth. Beautifully presented, it makes an ideal gift or special occasion Champagne.
