Nice clean agave nose. Palate isn’t bad, little flat.
The aroma has a soft floral note, with soft minerality and the same grassiness found in the Blanco, not overpowering but complemented with cooked agave’s prune essence and light berry which all the notes can also be perceived on the palate upon sipping and savoring. I was delighted that even though the taste was indeed wine-forward it was not overpowering and didn’t drown my tongue in flowery notes. A very soft taste with bits of minerality still being distinct. I was impressed and instantly thought this was one of the best, yet few, Rosa Blancos I could enjoy. I look forward to comparing it to others in a side-by-side
The taste was the most memorable quality of this Repo. The aroma did not stand apart to me and didn’t highlight anything different or distinguishing that I have not experienced with Repos yet the enjoyment was truly found in the taste. Cooked agave raisin sweetness while not being overpowered by the influence of the barrels yet still displaying a soft caramel tone and delicious minerality and freshness. I enjoyed this more than I expected.
I found in the aroma a distinct herbal/grassy note with soft inviting citrus and cooked agave earthiness. At the same time, on the palate, there was the continued grassy softness as the aroma, light minerality with no offensive ethyl sting in the mouth or throat, and a bit of butteriness helped to make this tasteful albeit not very exciting. A very good Blanco that doesn’t offend, is easy to drink yet does not stand out in a crowded field. I would undoubtedly drink it again with no qualms though, because, to me, it is decent.
