Nose: A distinctive red wine aroma, with a bit of wood. Bold honey imbued agave richness. A pleasantly sharp mineral aspect at midpoint, with mint and anise making an appearance as well. Light smokiness, and a sour Mezcal-like suggestion. It has a warm, round feel to the aroma profile; integrating the higher ABV with no ethanol excess. Flavor: Bursts on the scene with gutsy white pepper, fennel & caraway seed, and a counterpoint touch of vanilla. Sweet, viscous and savory. Lots of fruit and agave goodness. A big licorice punch joins the peppery foray. Mouth filling and long lasting finish. This is a vivacious expression that defies your previous notions of tequila. Veteran palates should appreciate Vivo.
