“The nose is fresh and vibrant while remaining sweet, cooked, and even savory. I get notes of rich cooked agave, spices, black pepper, herbs, grass, brine, limes, fresh stone fruit, earth, vanilla and smoke. Wow. The mouthfeel is moderate to thick and coating. The palate is rich with cooked agave. I get spices (anise?, 5 spice?), vanilla, cherries, black pepper, citrus, raw agave, grass, minerals. The palate is robust and lasting. It fades slowly into the finish. Very nice. The finish is great. It is somewhat astringent and fades into a balanced sweetness with lots of agave and minerals. The finish is lengthy. Very good.”

“The nose is strange. I sense agave but the nose feels manufactured. I get barrel like character (vanilla), roasted peanuts, cardboard, and a pastry like note(hazelnut? coconut? chocolate?). Wierd. The mouthfeel is rich and coating. Nice actually. The palate is shocking. It is so vanilla, candy like, and artificial. The finish surprisingly has defined agave character however, it is short lived. Overall, not good.”
