Nose: Strong pure and clean nose. The herbal elements shine clear at first. Caramelized agave then breaks through the herbs. A nice buttery feel. Floral with a nice lavender and rose presence. Reminds me a lot of the artenom anejo. Palate: Medium body and mouth feel. Slight numbing of my tongue. Crisp clean agave with subtle white pepper coming through. Herbal sweetness shows up in the mid palate. Heavier pepper and spice linger in the back. Finish: Lengthy finish with lots of pepper. Mild alcohol burn. Make sure to let this pour breath to get the most out of it
Nose: agave / earth/ mineral/ alcohol / pepper/ hint of lime / lemongrass / hay Taste: sweet agave cooked / vanilla / pepper/ earth / pineapple/ grapefruit/ licorice/ spearmint/ orange peel / Finish: very low viscosity mouthfeel that’s clean and crisp but still has a rainwater taste along with the sweet agave and pepper notes associated with other NOM 1579 expressions. The lingering sweet and pepper notes hold on for a short time when a nice minty finish occurs. This blanco has a very nice subtle and smooth taste profile. Nothing specifically bold except the pepper notes and the contrasting agave and bittersweet licorice against that pepper; all the other flavors and aromas are subtle. I prefer tequilas that are more bold, but this is a nice easy sipper that would work as a mixer where you wanted the tequila flavors to not overpower the drink.
Earthy nose with cooked agave. Lots of minerals on the nose with vegetal notes. Slight olive smell. On the tongue, the flavors are lightly muted get agave and vegetal with earthiness and minerals like on the nose. The mouthfeel is very nice and it finishes well but not bold enough. This is my first crack and we will see where it goes from here. This does get better after a few pours. Flavors are more bold. More floral and more 1599 character. Bumped this a couple points 9/27/24
Aroma of cooked agave, minerals, grass and a touch of mint. Nice flavor of cooked agave, black pepper spiciness, citrus, minerals and herbal. The finish tingle was long and pleasant. I would still go with G4 blanco's lower price.
