Is Leonor Palo Cortado Seco a good wine?
What reviewers say
“Gonzales Byass @VintryDamansara dinner 14.9.23 Supposedly, a sherry made by mistake, when too much fortification was added. But this has an elegant mouthfeel, without the alcohol heat of ~20%.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Amber with gold hues and an ochre rim. Intense, with nutty aromas (toasted almonds and hazelnuts), enveloped in notes of old wood. An intense and persistent palate with a hint of toast. Long, balanced aftertaste, and a smooth palate.
