NOM 1456 | This repo is slightly different than pictured. It has a 2007 (tax stamp) and labeled Reserva Especial Limitada. Nose: Ripe jammy berries and over ripe cantaloupe. Sweet agave blending with subtle oak tones and cedar shavings. Background baking spices that were first evident, receding as it opens up. A pinch of vanilla. Flavor: Vanilla, fruitiness, hazelnuts, baking spice and a pepper note that has staying power. Some viscosity and a trace of bitterness. This picked up a point or two on value, as I only paid $176 pesos for this older bottle.

NOM 1456 | Overwhelming aroma of thinner killed this one for me.

NOM 1456 | Bottle has a 2000 Mexican tax sticker on it. Melon, and some sort of funky sour sulfur-ish aroma. Not in a good way. Flavor is ok, I don’t get the funky weirdness, but it’s flat and thin. Simple.
