Da bomb, for sherry lovers: Palo Cortado versión. A shape shifter on the palate & ringing on the higher registers, this Hidalgo checks all the boxes for me, which includes a lightness & freshness heaven made for most food. Burnt pine cone & toffee bits, a subtle mushroom thing (oyster?), & a rather trim beef bouillon broth lurking on the back end. That may all be bs but it’s a wine that inspires…..

Aged 20 years but the solera must be much more than that. Very fresh style of Palo cortado. Has wonderful snap & acidity.

This is a "wow" Sherry. A fantastic juxtaposition of delicacy and energy. The acidity is the unifying element that brings together the briny, nutty & fruity elements which permeate the nose and palate alike. The body is ethereal & as it breathes the richness of the hazelnut & apricot notes pick up, again creating a captivating tension for a the senses. There is a mystery to this as it shows an unrelenting smoky/caramel note on the back of the palate which lingers beautifully on the finish. This is a fully realized, authentic wine of composure. Get ahold of some.

Not my favourite Palo Cortado, very rich, but still lots of dried fruit complexity.
