Tasting notes in progress

Aromas: Green and vegetal. Raw green bell pepper. Buttered cooked artichokes. Minerals, mint, rosemary, thyme and green peppercorns. Spicy cinnamon, a pinch of ground cloves and an undercurrent of vanilla. Pineapple and green apple providing upper range fruitiness; and a big punch of perfume tinged agave. Flavor Impressions: Cinnamon, spices and jaunty pepper heat - ramping up as it opens. A composed and nuanced honeyed sweetness with medium body. The rich sweetness fades rather abruptly. Complexity and balance, with a touch of butterscotch and walnut on the waning retrohale. The Guanajuato agaves are the highlight and heart of this blanco, giving it a subtle wild agave note. Hats off to Maestra de Tequila Diana Quiroz.

tasting at the cellar cabo 9/30/23 small pour and bottle was just opened. so I didn't get the agave profile others have mentioned. would like to revisit

On the nose, I’m immediately impressed. These aromas hit my personal preference. The roasted agave and earthy minerals are upfront. There’s some white pepper and natural sweetness along with some green peppers and hints of petrichor. There’s a nice rustic quality to this nose and some density. It’s very pleasant. - I first taste the agave up front but it was a more vegetal taste than the nose presented. The sweetness works well with the pepper and vegetal notes. There’s some pleasant alcohol tingle. The sweetness is akin to a thin honey with some natural vanilla and botanicals. There’s some cinnamon in the spice and some brine in the minerals. The pepper lingers nicely. The more I sip the more the flavors stack up. The first sip was thin on the palate but the flavors quickly build into a more dense tasting experience. The later sips also produce a more buttery agave and deeper spicy notes. - This is a fun tequila. The nose is excellent and the taste keeps building upon itself while simultaneously lingering.

Fresh agave bright nose. Sweet agave, minerals, and brine flavor. Very nice!

From a single brand NOM you can bet it gets the care and attention it needs. ATEO is not spoken about enough but I believe once their distributions are in order it’ll be a go to.

Tasted at QDJ with Charlie. This one lives up to the hype! This is a great new one! From aroma to finish, this one is excellent. The aroma is full of cooked agave, earth and bright citrus notes. There’s even a hint of mineral and funk. But no bad. The taste is full of cooked agave with very light sweetness and for only 40% it let you know it’s there. The finish is incredibly long and wonderful full of agave and good heat. I’m putting this on the buy list

LOT: 040523A03 Aristotle on the label. View: Completely transparent, good tear adhesion. Freshly served; Aroma: Very mineral, I can even detect a little copper, could it be distilled with copper? And some other metals. Black pepper. A little lactic. Taste: Very very sweet, as the sweetness passes it gives way to a slight citrus astringency, a little orange and a little lemon, which remains in the aftertaste. It doesn't change the middle and final palate, only at the beginning it gives that hit of sweetness and then it becomes citrusy. Very nice. Piloncillo and cooked agave. Candy and cotton candy. I let it oxygenate and rest for 20 minutes. Aroma: The aroma evolved towards lactic. Super nice and balanced. Very mineral, the copper is still there. Herbal. Flavor: Very sweet, cooked agave, green herbs, piloncillo. Slightly citrus aftertaste, orange and lemon peel and a little black pepper at the end. A delight!

Let this blanco open up and it will surprise you with layers of flavors. Earthy, vegetal, sweet agave, and spicy pepper. Briny olives and minerals.

On the news cooked agave, olives, Brian, lemon, bell pepper, and a slight sent of cheddar cheese. Sweet agave on the pallet, pepper, jalapeño, lime, olive, Brian, cinnamon, herbaceous, rosemary, and thyme. Love the long finish and the spicy tingle on the back end.
