NOM 1110 Nose: An umami aroma - perhaps chorizo. Sweet agave, a little smoke and trace cinnamon. Flavor: The appearance was on the watery side, so I was surprised to have my first sip coat my tongue nicely. Round agave notes, cinnamon and almonds, with a touch of pepper and smoke. Finish is shortish with borderline over the top sweetness. The pepper asserts itself a little more towards the end.
NOM 1110 Nose: Dark cherry, ripe berries, cinnamon, ginger, and trace flintiness. Flavor: Bigger pop of flavor than the nose promised. Sweet agave, lots of barrel spice, cream soda, caramel with moderate pepper presence. Finish: Medium to short finish with pleasing overall balance. Mexican bottling with a 2011 tax stamp. $215 pesos.
Tastes clean and natural with oak and agave. Caramel from the barrel and sweetness from the agave combine for great mouthfeel and creaminess. Finish is short and I rate down a bit for that.
Not terrible, but not the best. I enjoyed it better than 1800 and camarena
Marbete is from aprox. 2003, Mexican 1 liter 35% abv. version, tasted on 10-7-23. Aroma: starts very green & vegetal, after 20 minutes in the glass the vegetal softens, raw agave, cooked agave, light acidity, slightly minty, agave note becomes sweeter. Palate: confirms aromas perceived, good sweet sour & vegetal balance, as usual with low abv. it ends thin. Finish is medium, raw green agave and light sweet cooked agave notes persist for a short time.
