Stunning. Nuts, citrus blossom and dried citrus peel. There is dried stone fruit and honeycomb. 93 points. (www.ottawawinejournal.com)
From the Jerez, Hidalgo Faraon Oloroso Sherry is softly sweet and layered with quince, date, raisin, citrus and hazelnut flavours finishes with a Seville orange bite. Chill slightly and pair with meat patés, salty hard cheese like Manchego and roasted nuts. - Community Wine Reviews
