Product Notes

Barbadillo Palo Cortado "Obispo Gascón" 15 Year Old is a splendid gem from Andalusia, southern Spain. A classic Palo Cortado, it enjoys an exceptional harmony between the full-bodied character of an amontillado and the richness of an oloroso. Its dark, amber hue exudes refined aromas of noble woods, hazelnuts and dried fruits. With a velvety mouthfeel, it unfolds an intense, complex and rich palate experience, marked by a delightfully dry finish. Maturing for 15 years in American oak casks, this wine embodies the distinctive maritime influence of the region. An exquisite indulgence for the discerning palate.

Tasting Notes

A beautiful amber colour clear and brilliant in appearance. Intense on the nose with hints of fine wood, almonds, cinnamon, nutmeg and crystallized fruits. Due to its age, it is dry and powerful on the palate, but at the same time demonstrates delicacy and finesse. It has a wonderfully long finish to enhance the overall experience.
