Hidalgo Single Vineyard Oloroso 1986 500ml

GOLD MEDAL: Decanter World Wine Awards
94 POINTS: Jamie Goode, Wineanorak.com
92 POINTS: Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"The 1986 Oloroso de Añada is one of the few, rare, single-harvest Oloroso sherries available. In the 28 years of oxidative aging in oak butts, 55% of the wine evaporated. The resulting wine is mahogany-colored with a bright amber border and a balsamic nose of incense, old furniture, tobacco and wax. The palate is medium to full-bodied and gentle with slight sweetness."
– Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Value

Rates with good Zinfandel

Good Value Barbera

This is very good value for money. A Piedmont red under $30! It has good dark fruit, some nice tannins and acid to balance although it would benefit from some more age to smooth it a bit but I liked its feistiness now.

Just right

Drinking really nicely at 5 years and a fair price

Cotes du Rhone.

A lovely well balanced red. One of the best Cotes du Rhone I have tasted.

Real value for money

I was happily surprised by the quality of the labels in the "mystery" case of rose wines - great value for the money I must say. Excellent drinking experience from the unfamiliar labels and happy to enjoy again the familiar ones.
