Tasted 06/28/15 from a Riedel Tequila Glass.
Appearance: Pale straw color
Aroma: Pleasant aromas of agave, oak, vanilla, and a hint of mint.
Initial Taste: Very nice flavors of agave, oak, honey, vanilla and peppery spices all nicely balanced. It has a slight hint of cocoa from aging in bourbon barrels. Very smooth with no alcohol burn.
Body: Buttery mouth feel slow tears on the glass. The flavors are nicely blended.
Finish: Nice medium-length finish of sweet agave, oak and honey. It ends with a nice peppery fade with a hint of mint.
Price: RRP: $39.99
Presentation: Distinctive heavy blue bottle.
Score: 90(0.10) + 92(0.20) + 91(0.20) + 92(0.20) + 92(0.20) + 91(0.05) + 91(0.05) = 91.5 points
This is an excellent reposado for sipping. It is nicely aged in bourbon oak barrels which imparts a unique and balanced flavor without being too sweet.
