TASTING NOTE

Matusalem VORS is Bodegas Tío Pepe / González Byass’s cream vors expression within its current or recently verified portfolio. The current documentation records 30 years. The profile remains tied to the exact current bottling and release. The current documentation records it as made from 75% Palomino Fino and 25% Pedro Ximénez, aged through oxidative ageing and blending, with an age statement of 30 years, at 20.5% alcohol and in 37.5cl. No caveat beyond current price, stock and bottle-level verification.

Mahogany, with walnuts, raisins and caramelised fruit; rounded and sweetly textured, balanced by oxidative depth. Sweetness is checked by mature oxidative character.
