Got a problem here. 12 down I have Gustav Graves as the answer to "?????? graves "antagonist in the James Bond film "die another day"

But the across starting with the "A" in Gustav is A?o?o?o clue is Variety of dark full bodied sherry served as an aperitif or with rich cheeses after a meal" which looks like it should be "oloroso"

Any ideas

Thanks Chrisg, That's ideal. Never heard of it before today. Learn something new everyday. But there I am a beer drinker.

Thanks for that. I think though that the Aloroso is a light sherry and the clue was for a dark full bodied sherry so I shall go with that one. Amoroso

I'd go with Bernie's answer of Aloroso if I were you.

I think amoroso is a rich sweetened dark sherry - but I am happy to be proved wrong!

On reflection you may well be right.
