Pedro Romero NV Prestige 50 Palo Cortado Viejísimo Sherry (Jerez)
- Online Exclusive
- $125
Nutty as they come, with a dose of honey on the bouquet. Tastes extremely nice and powerful, with cleansing acids and complex flavors of salted peanuts, almond, baked peaches and toffee. Layered in terms of feel and delivery, with a nutty, crisp finish.

Pedro Romero NV Dry, Rich Amontillado Sherry (Jerez)
- Best Buy
- $13
What a treat it is to come across an inexpensive Sherry that’s this well made and delivers this much purity along with moderate richness. The wine smells very healthy, with nary a flaw. Toffee, peach and almond flavors are the slightest bit buttery, and the feel is lively but comfortable.

Pedro Romero NV Aurora Manzanilla Extra Dry Sherry (Jerez)
- Best Buy
- $13
Add Aurora to your list of dry Sherries that won’t steer you wrong. It is a concentrated, slightly more powerful style of manzanilla with pear, pepper and rosemary aromas as well as a true, refined palate. Flavors of fresh mushroom and nuts are dry and just fruity enough. Like a kiss from the sea.

Pedro Romero NV Full, Dry Oloroso Sherry (Jerez)
- Best Buy
- $13
Nicely done and racy for an oloroso, with quince, baked peach and honey on the nose and then apricot and mocha flavors taking over in the mouth. Arguably a bit acidic, but that only helps to propel it toward an orange-tinged finish that’s natural, sheer and clean.

Pedro Romero NV Dark, Sweet Moscatel Sherry (Jerez)
- Best Buy
- $13
Cinnamon, nutmeg, a pinch of iodine and more spice than fruit on the nose. Flavors of brown sugar and toffee are satisfying, while the feel is fresh with no excess weight. Finishes with caramel, butter, toffee, coffee and pepper. A fit wine that’s priced well.

Pedro Romero NV Extra Dry Manzanilla Sherry (Jerez)
- Best Buy
- $13
Perfectly good manzanilla for casual sipping. The nose is light, pure and offers echoes of pear and blanched almonds. Dry and elegant, with apple, salt and minerally flavors, the palate is complete and mouthfilling. Finishes with length.
— M.S.

Pedro Romero NV Extra Rich Pedro Ximénez (Jerez)
- Online Exclusive
- $30
Starts out a bit sweaty and leathery, but soon it turns more smoky. As a whole it’s more bulky and barnyardy than most PX wines, with sweet prune and raisin flavors that seem a bit generic. Thick on the finish, with a gooey sweetness throughout.
— M.S.

Pedro Romero NV Prestige 50 Oloroso Viejísimo Sherry (Jerez)
- Online Exclusive
- $75
A fiery, demanding, extremely power-packed Sherry, with toffee, orange zest, pecan pie and apricot aromas. Feels tight and high in acidity, with dry, salty flavors of walnut oil and pecans. Layered and drying on the finish, with power to spare.
— M.S.
