Nose is lacquer then wood. Taste is pleasant. Woody, but well rounded. Not my top choice but I would drink again ... UPDATE: I revisited this after the bottle had been opened and about 3/4 full for a few weeks. With some air and time to breath the wood has backed off big time. I think a (ahem) more polished blanco would carry this expression further. But for what is, is it’s a decent sipper.
Meh. A bit overpriced for what’s in the bottle. I get more barrel than agave.
