In der August-Ausgabe des renommierten »
The Wine Advocate« haben die Sherrys von
Emilio Hidalgo hohe Bewertungen erhalten. So hat der ›
El Tresillo Amontillado Fino‹ satte 90/100 Punkten von Verkoster Luis Gutierrez erhalten. Über den Sherry, eine
Cuvée aus traditionellen Jahrgangs- und alten Solera-Sherrys, erzeugt aus der Rebsorte
Palomino Fino, schreibt er nachfolgend im Original:
„The NV El Tresillo Amontillado Fino is from the El Tresillo solera (hence the same name as the 1874 Amontillado). It is basically a Fino that has completed its biological aging, alcohol level adjusted to 17 %, the flor has disappeared and has only started its oxidative agin towards an Amontillado. This would be a Fino Amontillado, a category that does not officially exist anymore. It's something between an old Fino and a young Amontillado. It has a combination of both the saline and marine notes of the biological aging and incipient notes of hazelnuts and a touch of varnish from the oxidative cycle. The palate shows the addition of alcohol that would need a little bit more time to get integrated. It's an unusual wine. Drink 2013-2016.”
