El Tresillo Amontillado Fino
Descripción
El Tresillo Amontillado Fino hace alusión a un antiguo juego de naipes muy conocido en la época con el que Bodegas Emilio Hidalgo ha querido hacer un homenaje a esos momentos en los que las generaciones pasadas lo disfrutaban junto a una copa de este Jerez. Se trata del resultado de un soleraje inicial como vino Fino durante más de diez años, seguido de un envejecimiento reposando bajo la lenta acción del oxígeno durante el resto del tiempo, alcanzando una vejez media de entre 15 y 20 años. Según la propia casa jerezana, es el relejo de la acción conjunto del bodeguero, así como del microclima y la evolución del vino en la propia bodega. Un vino que destaca por su finura y elegancia, capaz de mantener su carácter más vinoso y largo como consecuencia de su etapa oxidativa final.

Opinión de los críticos
El Tresillo, named after a card game once popular in Jerez, has two versions: one adolescent,
aged ten years under flor and five without, labelled as Amontillado Fino in the past (though
that is no longer an option), and a very limited selection from the foundational 1874 solera,
labelled with precisely that date as "Amontillado Viejo,", which is reviewed just below.
I have provocatively given a higher score to the former, because it is such a drinkable,
complex, life-enhancing wine, as opposed to its older sibling which many people will find
difficult to actually drink. In any case even the younger El Tresillo is a sherry of staggering
intensity and complexity, with massive wood oxidation and pronounced almondy rancio
dominating the profile. Seriously taut and lemony-zesty, this shows a towering personality.
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 aging 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. E
