Tasting notes in progress
Nose. Vibrant, robust baking spices and fruitiness. A sharp mineral nose tingle. Smoky, silky vanilla. Delicate hint of creamy butterscotch. Fresh barrel oak and warm citrus notes. Flavor: Fruit, spice and mouth filling zing. Salinity and poblano heat. Restrained and polished barrel influence. The edgy, Guanajuato agaves are the center stage star. A touch of wild funk. Sweet and savory harmony. (I’m told the ART levels for these family grown agaves from Romita were off the charts.) Medium long finish brings buttercream nuttiness in play. A sleeper brand.
Aromas: Green and vegetal. Raw green bell pepper. Buttered cooked artichokes. Minerals, mint, rosemary, thyme and green peppercorns. Spicy cinnamon, a pinch of ground cloves and an undercurrent of vanilla. Pineapple and green apple providing upper range fruitiness; and a big punch of perfume tinged agave. Flavor Impressions: Cinnamon, spices and jaunty pepper heat - ramping up as it opens. A composed and nuanced honeyed sweetness with medium body. The rich sweetness fades rather abruptly. Complexity and balance, with a touch of butterscotch and walnut on the waning retrohale. The Guanajuato agaves are the highlight and heart of this blanco, giving it a subtle wild agave note. Hats off to Maestra de Tequila Diana Quiroz.

Nose: Lightly oaked. Barrel vanillin. Crisp citrus and minerals. The smell of sun warmed river rocks after a rain. Ripe dark berries. Perfumed guayabas, plump and ready to pick off the tree. A warm fusion of baking spices. Flavor: A dramatic punch of spices and pepper. Lighter colored tree fruit join the darker berries from the nosing. Viscosity, salinity and a balanced, round sensation on the palate. Ripe agave claiming its place in the sun. Aged for 13-14 months; a near perfect marriage of barrel influences and agave.
