Another solid bottling by 1123! I tasted this blind and once I found out this was 46% I was shocked. N- baked agave, citrus, baking spice, apple T- caramelized agave, vanilla, plum, oak, cinnamon spice MF- medium F- long lasting with any sweet notes slowly giving way to a mellow alcohol heat finish V- $70 in Michigan makes this just an average value to me personally. It's fantastic but I try to keep my Reposado purchases around $65 or less when I can

Yum.., Aroma- is agave- earth- oakiness- strong herbal- mineral- so wonderful. Palates. Amazing- agave- herbal pepper with some dirt and herbal deliciousness. Finish is short- agave- and herbal earthiness.

Aroma: cooked agave, oak, and old, alcohol, earthy, grass, anise and licorice, vegetal, whiskey, citrus, pencil shavings, cinnamon, vanilla, wet earth, Palate: alcohol, oak, coked agave, vegetal, pepper, mineral, Finishes hot I like the aromas better than the taste. Drinks like a blanco so there is minimal barrel. If you want a repo with lots of cooked agave and minimal barrel then this is for you.

Nose: Mint, oak, vanilla, agave, orange peel, lime zest, and citrus Palate: Black pepper, agave, brine, salt, with a pleasant mouthfeel Finish: Heat lingers on the cheeks and was very enjoy. Has a nice kick to it.

Aroma is incredible. Color is a very light amber. First couple of sips are intense and finish is hot likely due to the 49% ABV. Once palette adapts it is a nice initial caramel taste. Finish remains strong and hot in the back of your throat. Not the smoothest repo for my inexperienced palette but the initial sip keeps me coming back for more. Still trying to enjoy the strong, hot finish but what do I know, I’m new at this.

Starts with an amazing vegetal grass aroma. Sweet taste with mild carmel notes. Not much of a barrel influence and a mild peppery finish. Could almost be mistaken for a blanco.

On nose - caramel, vanilla, sweet creamy fruit, light lime and oak. On taste - orange zest rind, jalapeno. Slight bitter after taste with a light moss note. Hard to distinguish individual notes - everything feels blended/muddy. It has a nice silky mouth feel. Still a great repo but I like PV more.

2nd night: The aroma presents a straightforward profile, characterized by light oak, cacao, and a subtle ethyl presence, complemented by a delectably faint hint of brown sugar and the distinct scent of cement. Upon tasting, the palate is introduced to a soft caramel flavor, accompanied by notes of cooked sweet potato, mint and the rich essence of dark chocolate cream soda. The peppery bite associated with the blanco expression is tempered by the influence of the barrel. Additional flavors emerge, including hints of green citrus, and a subtle nuttiness. With the finish, a dry pepperiness lingers on the tongue, gradually fading away to reveal exiting notes of cooked agave, cacao, distinct minerality, roasted nuttiness, and an earthy undertone.

LOTE 479, bottled on 110124, tasted on 3-25-24. Color: very light yellow. Aroma: light sweet cooked agave, light aromatic green vegetal notes, hint of anise, light wet earth, light resinous sweetness, hint of fruitiness. Light acidity. Palate: confirms aromas perceived, good sweet sour and acidic balance, light fruity aromas through my retronasal. Finish is medium to medium long, hint of sweet cooked agave with green vegetal and light fruity notes persist.

Fourth and last of the Lagrimas tasting quartet. Amazing what only 3 months in an American oak barrel can do to an already excellent blanco. The high brix content(40%) bodes well for a light aging, as compared to the blanco, the repo is more refined.

Less pungent that the blanco thanks to the oak, but I like pungent. Also a tad spicier than the blanco. I did get a little bit more alcohol on the nose than the blanco and the nose also had that cooked agave, cinnamon, vanilla bean, and barrel spice. Palate was the same as the nose but with some caramel on the mid palate.

Amazing nose! extra sweet cooked agave followed by cinnamon with a hit of citrus. Beautiful oily mouth feel with a buque of agave followed by a creamy sweetness like cream burlee. In my opinion this different than palo verde edition in a good way! Cascahuin did it again!
