Bodegas Hidalgo Triana Pedro Ximenez 50 cl

Joe Fattorini's Tasting Note: "Let’s be honest here. This is the richest, stickiest, densest wine you’ll ever try. It’s essentially the sweetening wine for other sherries, but here you have it unadulterated. And I love it. Not a ‘wine’ so much as a pudding or a stylish alternative to Bailey’s. Some serve it over ice-cream but that seems wasteful. It does go with a rich cake. You really should try this once though just to taste the treacle, the figs, the prunes and baked raisins." Produced by the Hidalgo Family bodega, established in 1792 in Sanlúcar. Made using grapes dried on straw mats, fermented and fortified, then aged under the solaria system. Powerful and impressive wine with luscious raisin and treacle aromas Lots of prunes and figs in the mouth rounded off with an intense, warm, roasted nut finish. Dark, rich and opulently sweet with a dried plum flavour and raisins on the nose. Awards: IWC – Silver.
