Fabulously creamy and fine, not as deep as some of the main three Tradicion wines, probably due to not being as old, but this is very good and very drinkable, almost refreshing.

Jerez 1: Bodegas Emilio Hidalgo and Tradición (Jerez de la Frontera, Spain): This, unlike the other "Muy Viejo" offerings from Tradición, is only a VOS or 20-year Sherry. Deep black color, thick. Nose of dry fig, licorice and raisins. On the palate it is silky smooth and very full bodied, with notes of honey, spice, fig pudding and plum cake. Wonderful PX but could stand a touch more acidity to balance the huge sweetness.

Drank over several months. Rich luscious carmel and coffee. Nice alternative to after dinner coffee.
