Beautiful nose and palate
Tasted blind at Dustin’s Fuerte Fiesta! I will revisit when I have more time to spend with it. Very good all around but a bit one dimensional for me. Yes lots of agave and some nice heat.
Excellent blanco from a legendary producer. Really enjoyed this one
Nose: Agave, green olive, salt, minerals, cement, mint and lime rind Palate: Cooked agave, stone (tahona notes), mint and is a bit spicy (jalapeño). Delicious! Finish: Some nice heat with black pepper that heats up the gums nicely. Tried it against the 48 abv Gallo version and I liked this one more!
