Good advice from Eric there Andy. I would also advise looking to see if there is a bottling date and choose the youngest. I am a confirmed addict of bottles with age in most wines but I have on two occasions had a fino (the Tio Pepe from Gonzales Byass and La Gitana from Hildago) in Jerez and tried it a couple of days later in the UK. Even to my uneducated palate the wine in Spain was so much fresher and to my taste better. Olorosos do keep but I am not sure re the Amontillado's or palo Cortado's - maybe someone out there will enlighten us. Best as Eric says to buy half bottles and toss the cork away!
