I think this is probably just unique to the UK market because most Sherry producers use quite complicated codes. In fact many codes actually list the exact day in any given year it was bottled. I always use this web page as a guide - https://www.sherrynotes.com/2014/background/sherry-bottling-codes/ If indeed your bottle was from October then I bet it was showing wonderfully. It's a vastly underrated Sherry.

Given the solera system and volumes at play here, the wine is almost constantly being drawn off and bottled, probably on a monthly or even weekly basis. I've visited the Gonzalez Byass cellars in Jerez and it's a big operation. Therefore it pays to buy bottles gradually throughout the year as they're released rather than stocking up by the case. Enjoy!
