August 27, 2023 - This is nice. Rich, classic amontillado nose: brazil nut, red peanut skin, preserved lemon, dates. This is a solid amontillado--rather than a great one--but it's also at a very affordable price point. I could have used a touch more acid, but I really like the peanut skin note.

July 15, 2023 - Rich and fruity amontillado, like drinking a rummy vanilla extract. Long finish of toasted grains and maple. Excellent.

Full Pull 36 Bottles: Q1, 2/10/2019(NV Bodegas Hidalgo Amontillado Napoleon) Hello friends. Once each quarter this year, we’ll be offering wines from 36 Bottles of Wine, my book that was released last September. We’re going to try to assemble all nine wines from the three months in question, but it won’t always be easy; some categories are only available during certain times of the year. My overarching goal is that we’ve offered all 36 wines at least once by the end of 2019. Also, if you read the book over the holidays and enjoyed it, please consider writing a review on Amazon or Goodreads. It’ll help other like-minded folks discover the title. Thank you! Now, onto the wines (and book). We’ve managed to source eight of the nine wines from Jan/Feb/Mar. The only exception is Grignan-les-Adhemar, which is a category we’ve had success offering in the past. I’ll continue looking for a bottle of Grignan, and in the meantime, I hope those of you who purchased the book will enjoy following along. [Excerpts from the book will be in italics.

Good bone-dry Amontillado sits at the intersection of salty and nutty (if you like peanut butter, chances are you’ll come around to Amontillado). Slowly sipping a glass while nibbling on a plate of charcuterie and hard cheeses and salted nuts, that’s a fine way to pass many a dark winter hour.
