TASTING NOTE

Leonor is Bodegas Tío Pepe / González Byass’s palo cortado expression within its current or recently verified portfolio. The current documentation records 12 years. The profile remains tied to the exact current bottling and release. The current documentation records it as made from 100% Palomino Fino, aged through biological origin followed by oxidative ageing, with an age statement of 12 years, at 20% alcohol and in 75cl. No caveat beyond current price, stock and bottle-level verification.

Amber-mahogany, combining citrus peel and hazelnut lift with polished wood, breadth and a long dry finish. Aromatic finesse and Oloroso-like breadth define the style.
