When I tell you I was surprised to actually like this cristalino. I was able to compare it to the repo where it derives from and the aromas were so pronounced in the cristalino. On the nose you get cooked agave with slight aromas of spice. On the tongue the same flavors present. They always say don’t drink cristalinos because they are horrible, but I can tell you, I bought a bottle to enjoy daily. Don’t be afraid to try this one.

Picked this up with no background beyond Matchmaker reviews from Sip for 50% off. Damn glad that I did. $65/bottle (700 ml) is a tad steep, but I think I might, on occasion, do that for this. Fine sipper neat-o. Has an earthy, bluesy southern thing going on. Like a Frank Stanford poem put to music by Lucinda Williams. Needs to be a hot night. Heavy. Fireflies. Screen doors. A fan to keep the mosquitos down. Atmospheric.
