Aroma: Rich ripe agave notes, a trace of cinnamon and mint, minerals and cut wet grass. Flavor: Thick and oily in the mouth. A honey like sweetness that carries some spiciness, dill weed and black pepper heat. A modicum of acceptable bitterness on the back of the tongue. The palate is considerably more robust than the nosing. Finish: Mingling playfully, pepper, anise and agave notes all the way to the finish line. A Mexican bottling with a tax stamp from 2011.

Sampled from Remy's bottle, this is an outstanding reposado from NOM 1146. Quite viscous in the glass, legs are amazing for a reposado. Barrel and roast agave combine perfectly to make a nearly perfect, for me, reposado. Some sweetness along with caramel from the barrel have me thinking of Creme Brulee with a hint of burnt sugar. Finish is long and rich.
