Delgado Zuleta
"Tosca Cerrada" Vino de la Tierra de Cádiz Palomino Fino en Rama 2015
Alvear
Fino en Rama Montilla-Moriles Pedro Ximénez 2008
Tangy, almond skin, and just the right amount of oxidization. Loads of complexity and such crazy value. Sherry truly is the best — 9 years ago

Mario Bazan
Rama Cabernet Sauvignon 2012
Opulent. Oaky and smooth. What a great cabernet. Elegant and full of vanilla. Smells of resin and cherry. Great job Mr. Bazan — 10 years ago
Pérez Barquero

La Goya Manzanilla Sanlúcar de Barrameda Palomino Fino
Lovely manzanilla but not mindblowing by any means. I look forward to trying more en rama versions from this bodega. — 8 years ago

Bodegas Hidalgo
En Rama La Gitana Manzanilla Sanlucar de Barrameda Palomino Fino
Smooth mineral aroma. Acidic salty taste and a full body. Better after opening. — 10 years ago
Rey Fernando de Castilla
Antique Palo Cortado Sherry
18+ best of my Palo Cortados. Has the refinement of an en rama with weight and length. Might marginally prefer Hart Bros (Hidalgo) manzanilla en rama for its bracing attack as an aperitif, but this perhaps better with food- should do comparative tasting — 10 years ago
Rey Fernando de Castilla
Fino En Rama Sherry
Bodegas Faustino Gonzalez
Cruz Vieja Oloros en Rama
Cant get much better than this. Unless youre getting some tangy sheep's cheese out to go with it... Well worth booking and visiting the bodega in Jerez too. Artesanal small-scale production with a personalised tour. — 8 years ago
Michel Arnould & Fils
Mémoire de Vignes Champagne Pinot Noir 2008

Equipo Navazos
I Think Manzanilla Jerez-Xérès-Sherry Palomino Fino 2014
The aroma is so rejuvenatingly fresh. Birch juice, honeyed pear, green apples, yeast, green olives, and ocean breeze. Very long tangy finish with a touch of butterscotch. Very crisp, rounded, softened around the edges - there’s some pungency to it but it’s integrated. This is the most drinkable of the en rama sherries I’ve tried. Note that this is the 2014 bottling, 4-5 yr aging. — 11 years ago
Nelson Fitch
Thirst quenching. All texture and salt. Reductive. Tastes like sherry without the sherry. — 8 years ago
