An excellent agave forward anejo. A stark difference between this anejo and the other two I tasted in the flight(Fortaleza & Volans). Far less barrel influence, and the color could easily pass for a Reposado. Cooked agave being the driving note here along with citrus rind, herbs, and flowers. Subtle barrel notes like vanilla and caramel, but the distillate is the star of the show.
Aroma: sweet cooked agave, sweet pineapple, earthiness, citrus, black pepper, red peppers, green peppers, cucumbers, white onions. Palate: sweet agave, black pepper, calamansi, rain water. Finish: medium, sweet and peppery agave.
This is for the 2024 Tierra Negras. Aroma of cooked agave, citrus, minerals, herbal and a hint of mint. Flavor of cooked agave, black pepper, citrus, minerals, mint and a bit of wood, I assume from the fermentation barrels. The finish was long with the lingering black pepper spiciness.
Olive aroma, taste is ok, finish is good.
