Too much Cofradia Funk for my taste but the aging and spice of the base Blanco blend well, it just has that funk.

Sept 26, 2023 NOM 1414 when first opened, the nose shows minerality, grassy notes, vegetal and brine with lactic notes and yeast. let it sit 30 mins or so and it opens up. the agave comes thru. on the palate - agave, mint, dried fruit, citrus and mild cracked pepper. there's even a hint of chocolate on the finish. This is a very enjoyable sipper. I'm pleased with the move to NOM1414.

Aroma: overwhelmingly alcohol forward. Really have to fight through the alcohol to find that cooked agave aroma. There are some hints of minerality and fresh cut grass. Flavor: very one dimensional. There’s a strong bitterness that hits my mid palate. Some cooked agave comes through but overall this doesn’t have much flavor. The finish is also very short.

Aroma: slight cooked agave sweetness, raw agave, chilies, asparagus, artichoke, black pepper, dry soil, jalapeño. Flavor: cooked agave, orange citrus, salt brine, green olive. Finish lingers for a bit. At first it’s pretty green and vegetal but tappers off to a more sweet finish. Mouth feel is soft and silky and there’s a slight burn in the bottom of my chest. Overall I think this is a very good blanco but the low marks come from the price.
