Hidalgo Faraon Oloroso Sherry

Sherry is almost always five star value given its depth and complexity and undervalued price. This is fine, just off-dry oloroso with a very rich nose of dried apricot, dried orange, barley sugar and sherry’s typical rancio walnut-character. It is full bodied, smooth, almost creamy and intensely flavoured. The length is excellent, with some bitterness on the finish. Last tasted December 2023. (David Lawrason,winealign.com)
