Anise and black pepper with a great oiliness.
Cinnamon and anise aromas. Agave and olive flavor, super thick oily mouthfeel.
2003 SAT stamp. Nose: Dark berries, black cherry, ripe mature agave, caramel, baking spices and honey. Chalky oyster shells and potting soil. Flavor: Spicy entrance gives way to round ripe fruit, sweet silky vanilla, a hint of almonds, and balanced oak aging notes. Finish: Cinnamon and pepper, with a touch of butterscotch. A dusty oldie picked up recently for $308 pesos - ergo it picks up points on value. But tasty!
A 2003 Tax sticker on this. Nose: Caramel, vanilla and aromatic spices of cardamom, nutmeg and allspice. An appealing musty oak resin aroma. Oranges and earthiness. Round mature baked agave. Flavor: Creamy butterscotch with fiery pepper and cinnamon catch your attention. The appearance of almond and vanilla in the finish tame some of the heat. This one garners points on value.
