On the nose, an interesting grassy quality and some cinnamon. Agave, and a little bit of mint. Some lime and minerals. On the palate, definitely getting that mint. Very full bodied, rich and oily. Lots of agave goodness, a touch of fruitiness, some pear I almost want to say. Very delicious, and surprisingly not a huge jump down in flavor from the HP. This is an excellent standard blanco and one of the most flavorful I’ve had. Sergio Cruz just cannot seem to miss.

Cooked agave up from with some citrus and minerality. Clean smell … wet earth … cooked agave with black pepper.

Loving the nose on this. Nice agave, green melon, and wet cement. Taste of agave, lots of citrus and anise, some minerality and pepper

Aroma: High medium attack of alcohol, mineral, black pepper & cooked agave. Olives/brine hints Flavor: Fresh herbs: grass/earthy, rosemary & mint Citrus: Lime & oranges Spices: black pepper, anise Fruits: pear/green apple Buttery texture with a long oily finish. Really enjoyed sipping it. Aroma didn’t match how good it tasted.

In the glass it’s crystal clear with slow legs. On the nose there’s agave, licorice, and cinnamon prevalent. The palate is agave, cinnamon, licorice, and a hint of tropical fruit (mango?) and citrus. It’s got a long warm finish of pepper and cinnamon spice. Note: This bottle has been open for a couple of days and there is considerably less cinnamon present than when first opened. I’ve had the high proof blanco and the reposado (both excellent) and don’t recall the cinnamon notes this one has. Overall tasty but more cinnamon than I prefer, which leads me to believe this bottling, shipping, and/or storage was somewhat unique as others don’t seem to pick this up as predominantly.

Mild complexity, full of spices, and good portion of agave. Aroma: raw and cooked agave, black pepper, alcohol, mineral, earthy, thyme, rosemary, anise, grapefruit, artichoke, marzipan, herbal. Palate: sweet agave, minerals, anise, pepper, citrus, alcohol and cinnamon, spearmint, olive brine. Finish is nice and medium, with sweet agave, black pepper, butter, marzipan, Mint, anise, fresh herbs.

Lote 02 Bottle #170 Nose: A touch of mint, cut grass and hay. In your face rich, ripe agave. A floral note and a hint of ripe cheese. Spicy aromas with citrus, mature fruit and earthiness. Flavor: Creamy and oily. Flavors mirror the aromas with balance and finesse. I’m getting a couple of bonus flavors: anise and warming pepper. The agave presence is striking. Nice upper palate buzz sensation. Finish hangs in with creaminess and peppery counterpoint.

Nose: Fresh agave, minerals, herbal and light citrus; lime & grapefruit. Light floral. Taste: Agave, black pepper, green peppers, minerals. Finish: Nice creamy and oily mouthfeel. Pepper and a pleasant alcohol sensation. Warm finish

Gran Dovejo 40% abv Blanco is one of the best you will ever be able to find. It's hard to beat the phenomenal buttery sweet cooked agave and natural taste. I put this in the top echelon of blancos . I love this juice.

Agave Green Pepper Brine Smooth

Nose - Agave and ripe fruit Taste - White pepper and agave with some alcohol numbing Finish - Moderate length with sweet and bitter elements.

nice nose, sweet agave. sweet entry, little burn, lacks spiciness. pleasant mid-palate, slight bitterness on finish.

Fresh, vegetal aroma with agave and pepper upfront. Crisp and clean with a hint of anise underneath the strong vegetal opening. Very smooth on the palate with an initial sweetness that is quickly followed by strong spice - black pepper, cinnamon, mint. The finish is medium to long.

My review of this tequila is identical to Khrys Maxwell. Can't really add anything else.

Strong Alcohol Aroma, it was difficult to pick any aromas. The only one that I could think of wet grass. Flavor= Pure Raw Agave, with a nice warm finish

Aroma: strong alcohol. Flavor: only raw agave, grassy, peaty. Finish: alcohol burn, slight numbing on tip of tongue. Lot 01

Delicious agave-forward tequila with oily mouthfeel. Green bell pepper, olive and mineral aromas.

Rated blind in Riedel Overture Glass: Crystal clear. Coats the glass with large slow tears forming immediately and tracking into well-defined legs. A number of pearls hang lower down on the glass. Aroma: Lots of green agave with black pepper and vegetal notes accented with apple, mint, lemongrass, and grapefruit that curiously phases into lime over time. There is a slight alcohol note with a nearly imperceptible astringency; this isn’t really off-putting, but probably serves to magnify the green agave notes. Entry: Smooth and cool, slightly buttery. Flavor: Green agave with white pepper, accented with lemon, apple and toasted coconut. Mineral and metallic qualities can also be found around the edges. Finish: The short-to-moderate finish is smooth leading into some wet sweetness and a moderate pepper sensation throughout the palate that becomes more dry as it dissipates. This is a profile many could enjoy.

Amazingly complicated and long lasting finish

This tequila has a perfect balance of agave and sweetness. Both seem to compliment each other. It feels great in your mouth and is silky smooth. This is a really solid blanco. We use it regularly as an example of a blanco that's enjoyable -- even for people who normally shy away from them.

Agave, agave, agave.

Gran Dovejo blanco is crisp and dry with notes of raw agave, white pepper, a bit of anise, some dry earth, and a touch of bitterness. It has a long finish, though not overly complex. This blanco falls in between the soft "American" style and the machismo traditional style. Tasty and recommended!

Aroma: Agave, Mineral, Salt, Fruity (mostly apricot) Vegetal, Citrus, Bell Pepper Mouthfeel: Very light viscocity, noticibly less viscous than the Gran Dovejo HP Palate: Agave, Vegetal and Salty Finish: Minerality, Anise, Grass I can appreciate this tequila but it is a little on the bland side and missing some depth.

Gran Dovejo has been my favorite from the 1414 brands so far, and this blanco is no less favored. Some spice and fruit in the nose, on the tongue and in the finish. A hint of brine maybe.
