Lote #2 Nose: Hints of barrel and cookie spice. Ripe fruit and agave with a sprinkle of fine pepper. Tropical fragrances : guava, mango, pineapple, plantain and citrus. Lightly floral. A touch of caramel. The aromas take some coaxing before revealing themselves. Flavor: Whereas the nose was a bit timid, the first sip delivers a full punch of flavor. Cinnamon stick, warming pepper and big agave. Viscous with a salty umami note - causing the whole mouth to salivate. The individual tropical elements found in the aroma merge into background secondary impressions. Trace fennel and dill emerge in the finish. This straight forward reposado has a creamy softness that makes it an easy sipper.

small sample the nose is amazing -sweet cooked agave, caramel, tropical fruit, a little butter, some barrel notes, spices, a tiny bit of oak. well balanced, easy sipper. very good = 89

Blanco should cost less $49 California

Nice agave on nose, slight bitter palate. Easy finish. Little pepper on the finish. I like it better than the repo but it doesn’t stand out against other 1579 offerings. Update: Tried Lote 2 and enjoyed that much more. A solid offering

Nice nose. The agave comes through. Palate is soft. Slight bitter finish. Don’t love it. Update: Lote 2 is a treat. Nice sweetness on the palate and finish. I’m bumping up a few points
