Jancis Robinson
"So dry and elegant. A long, tensile line stretched from start to finish. Pecan skins. Saffron. Green apple and fresh apricot. Smoky citrus peel."

Sercial is the lightest and driest and along with great Fino or Manzanilla is one of the most energising, appetising drinks in the world. Sercial and Barbeito seem like a marriage made in heaven and indeed Barbeito 10 Year-Old Secial tastes heavenly. Peachy pale tawny. Racy with that wonderful purity and acidity yet heady and with massive depth of fruit. Tense, serious complex A marvel really. Only just off-dry this would make a fabulous aperitif. I gave it a possibly characteristically stingy 17 points out of 20.'
