Tasting Notes
Leonor by Antonio Flores is described as the wild child of Jerez. Due
to its mysterious ageing process it could be described as similar to an
Amontillado on the nose and similar to an Oloroso on the palate. Leonor
shows a light mahogany colour with golden tones and slightly orange
rim. On the nose intense and complex with typical Amontillado notes
such as hazelnuts perfectly balanced with other aromas such as bitter
orange and mature oak. On the palate powerful and intense with toasted
notes yet smooth and silky
