  • Tasting Hidalgo at its best (Enoteca Barolo - Madrid): Best thing, that salty touch on the palate.
    Suddenly flat for what you were expecting.
    Everything is here: figs, raisins and crystallised fruit but in absurd doses and it isn't burning, alright, but is little flat and four-squared for my modest taste. After all, some respect...

    Lo mejor, ese toque salino en boca.
    La boca inesperadamente plana para lo esperado.
    Está todo aquí higos, pasas y fruta escarchada pero en dosis absurdas y no quema, de acuerdo, pero resulta plano y cuadriculado para mi modesto gusto. Después de todo, respeto...

    (NV Emilio Hidalgo Jerez-Xérès-Sherry Pedro Ximénez Santa Ana 1861) Dated, like some exceptional Sherries, according to the year the solera was established. Only 200 bottles a year are filled by hand to preserve the solera, which has just nine barrels remaining. Dark and viscous, it’s unfiltered, oxidized, and raisined; mellow, smooth, thick, and beautiful. Layers of complex flavors range from light, tropical elements to hints of Spanish flan. A rare elixir for your customers willing to pay the price; list and serve it as you would an old Madeira or fine vintage Port. It’s more than adequate on its own, but luscious with chocolate desserts. Sherry: History by the Glass
