Not a fan. Funky for my palate
Nose: Funky and bold right out of the glass, with that distinct cheesy malolactic note leading the way. Cooked agave comes through strong, backed by fresh grass and a bright citrus snap that keeps it lively. Palate: Rich and buttery. Sweet agave dominates, layered with juicy, overripe pineapple and a solid hit of black pepper. It’s complex, but nothing feels overworked—just well done. Finish: Long, peppery, and satisfying. The green apple note at the end cuts through the warmth perfectly, leaving a clean, refreshing finish.
