Muted nose, soft palate and odd finish. Was not a fan of this one. Tasted with AF 2024 Blind Repo.
This tequila looks like it’s going to have a great mouthfeel. It’s coating the glass nicely and producing pearls, tears and nice legs. The nose is fragrant and full of fresh agave, minerals and some faint lime zest. There’s also a very light floral note. On the palate the agave is very prominent as are many Sergio Cruz produced blancos / platas. The lime zest and minerality are accompanied by some cooked agave sweetness before the white pepper kicks in. The pepper lingers nicely all while still tasting the agave and natural sweetness. This is a clean and easy sipping tequila that packs enough of an agave punch to also stand up in cocktails. Vintage: May 2023
Rated blind: Light vanilla but muted nose. Some vanilla on the flavor too. Creamy. Easy drinker but fairly one dimensional.

Overall - "Wow!" Leaves you wanting more. Aroma - complex/sophisticated w/ touch of cherry plus apples too. Flavor - full wood/oak & gorgeous sweetness. Finish - appropriate w/ oak + slight fruit characteristics remaining . . . if anything, just perhaps a bit too delicate.
Pale hay in color. N- very light nose and yet complex. Agave, Elmer's glue (?!), faint flowers, apple T- light on the palate as well. Caramelized agave, honey, mango, black pepper, herbs, raisen MF- full bodied F- long and surprisingly spicy
