I don’t love it. Wine barrel is prominent on the finish
Nose: Oak, Dried Fruit, Plum,Herbal, Melon, Oregano Palate: Chocolate,Pepper, Citrus, Toffee Finish: Toffee, Oak, Pepper, Nutmeg
Had at a tasting event Quick notes Nose gave me wine barrel, cherry and sweet agave Taste : toffee, agave, cinnamon, orange peel and lots of oak. A warm baking spice finish This had too much barrel influence for my tastes but lends itself well as a dessert drink.
Nose : salt & clay earthiness with cooked agave. Got some funk to it almost like overripe fruit. Interesting. Taste : sweet plantain and jalapeño pepper. Agave, vanilla and oak. Finishes with that jalapeño spice lingering with creaminess of the plantain. Wasn’t impressed on first sip - but the more I’m sipping this the layers are deep and it’s really interesting. I want to visit this one again because I think there is even more to this one.
This is definitely a unique bottle. Matured entirely in oloroso sherry casks which imparted a ton of flavor on this anejo. To start, this is a spicey/dry sipper with tons of black pepper, barrel spice, cinnamon, apricot, dried fruits, berries, dates, and ample amounts of cooked agave. Loving this profile & recognize that there are not many tequilas that taste like this.
Tequilas aged in wine casks have become trendy recently, as producers play with different barrel influences. But “Rosa” tequilas, like “cristalino”, aren’t an official category.
