Hidalgo Napoleon Amontillado VORS 30 Year Old 500ml
94 POINTS: Decanter World Wine Awards 18/20 POINTS: JancisRobinson.com
Historic bodega founded in 1792. Palomino Fino grapes come from their own vineyards in the Balbaína and Miraflores pagos. Spontaneous fermentation is carried out with a later alcoholic strength increase to 15% abv. The wine was originally made for the private consumption of the family, nowadays there is a limited production available. Matured in American oak casks with an average age of 50 years.
"Tasted blind. Very pungent and full of complex flavour such as earth and truffle, it has maximum concentration and body but it still has finesse. Full of flavours on the palate showing a long list of descriptors like sweet fruit, smoke, black tea and toast. Penetrating stuff." – JancisRobinson.com
If you like full bodied Italian style reds particularly Amarone then this is a really good everyday drinking alternative. Especially suited for winter meals or perhaps bbq lamb in summer. I’ve just finished ordering some more.
A great range to select from but scored 4 for a 2 day delivery in AKL & challenges in processing my order online.
