The initial waft is of autoclave nuttiness and floral tones, complemented by the aroma of delicious cooked agave. A subtle presence of light ethyl, and old leather jacket funk, adds depth, while a slight astringent wisp adds to bouquet. Upon the first sip on the the palate I get the taste of grassy agave, almond nuttiness, vibrant green citrus, and a delightful hint of raspberry. The medium-toned ethyl and a subtle touch of white pepperiness contributes to the experience. The fading notes are a graceful departure, with lingering citrus and minerality transitioning into blueberry tones. The endurance of grassy agave, coupled with a refreshing hint of green grapes, adds to the layers. Warming the chest without a scathing burn, the overall taste is delicious, accompanied by the distinct note of High Pressure Autoclave sourness. An overall appreciative taste.
The nose is very vegetal with a funky spice, mint and smoke aroma. Taste is fruity, sweet, spicy and vegeative. Some heat on the way out, and not bad overall.
Aroma: mocha, coffee, earth, wood, and agave. Palate; spices, agave , oak wood, nuts, coffee. Finish is long with coffee taste, dark chocolate, and spices. It finish a little bitter for an Añejo.
