Medium yellow color. Swirled glass produced small pearls with slow legs. A lot of agave in the nose, with a musty, earthy undertone which made me think of the smell of a penicillin bottle. Middle of glass yielded notes of vanilla and honey, quite pleasant. Thinnish mouth feel, and the initial taste was a bit astringent. That quickly faded to a spicy mix of agave and white pepper. The pepper stayed through the finish, which had a small bit of alcohol contributing to the throat burn, while some sweetness and vanilla lingered on the top-aft portion of my mouth. On a side note, I remembered the Republic blanco as being on the sweet side and this repo didn't really seem to follow, so I retasted the blanco. Not nearly as sweet as I recalled, and I could easily see how this repo was produced from the same juice. Also, this wasn't the Texas-shaped bottle so my presentation score reflects the tall bottle which to me still looks quite nice. ]]> Fri, 20 Jan 2012 05:16:04 +0000 https://mail.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=1628 https://mail.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=1628 Republic Reposado (Lonestar) * Tasted June 2010 * Riedel Tequila Glass Appearance: light straw - medium tears Aroma: sweet agave, hints of oak, caramel and butterscotch Initial Taste: buttery agave Spirit Body: musty agave, oak, caramel and citrus Finish / Aftertaste: long finish with butter and mint A top organic Tequila at a great price! ]]> Mon, 02 Aug 2010 00:10:19 +0000
