Wine Spectator
Intense, with roasted almond, Brazil nut and walnut notes lending this a slightly burly aspect, while gunpowder tea, bitter orange and almond accents add a taut feel through the finish. This is a distinctive, edgy version that Sherry geeks will dig. Drink now. 1,500 cases made

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The Faraon Oloroso is aromatic with aromas of hazelnuts, walnuts, and raisins and a broad, dry flavor profile.

Wine & Spirits
An accessible Oloroso, this has briny aromas melding with scents of chestnut syrup, all supported on a soft, oily texture.

K&L Notes
Hidalgo is a classic Sanlucar producer, perhaps best known for their Manzanilla "La Gitana" as well as their Amontillado's. That said, they produced this beautiful, elegant, light on its feet Oloroso as well
