Since the price goes up by $10 a bottle as the ages advance, I thought it would be best to start off with the blanco to taste the base juice. Aroma: Nice grassy agave smell with hints of pine, citrus and mint. Initial Taste: Grassy agave. Very crisp and pleasant. Body: Medium-thin body. This is very agave forward. The complimentary flavors (grassy notes and mint) are light, but work very well to make it unique. Finish: A very easy finish with a fairly short duration. There's a nice pepper kick along with mint. This is a pretty good tequila. It's not the best I've ever had, but I think that new and seasoned tequila drinkers alike will both enjoy this one. For the price, I think that it's just good enough for me to want to get the reposado and anejo. Pretty nice work from NOM 1465. ]]> Fri, 12 Oct 2012 00:59:57 +0000 https://mail.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=2171 https://mail.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=2171 Tasted this in November of 2011 out of a Riedel glass. I quite enjoyed this blanco, and was surprised by a hint (just a slight one) of smoke that I had not come across in my (limited) experience. I'll be curious to try the Repo and Anejo of this line. ]]> Mon, 12 Dec 2011 20:02:07 +0000 https://mail.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=777 https://mail.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=777 Tasted on 09/03/08 out of a snifter. This blanco was a pleasant surprise. I'm still on the fence about its marketing. Nevertheless, it's a very good blanco. Aroma: A pleasant nose of pine. Initial Taste: Upon entry, its sweet with no bitterness. An oily mouth feel. Body: Agave and fruit. Finish: A short semi heated finish. ]]> Thu, 04 Sep 2008 14:59:49 +0000
