This is the June 24 lot. Tasted in a Riedel Brandy Snifter Beautiful legs coat the glass The nose doesn’t remind you of tequila. It is very barrel heavy. Raisins, plums, whiskey, cherry and chocolate. Easy to sip. Very much a barrel spice palate. I can’t say that agave comes out in this but what I am tasting is nice. I’d definitely drink it again. It is more like a cognac. I get just a touch of agave on the finish. This is a high dollar tequila and it taste like a high dollar spirit but just not tequila. This isn’t that uncommon for XAs to go beyond their agave roots. However, this is listed as an Añejo. I’m not sure how long it was actually aged but this is very XA like. Hey, if you get a chance to drink this one, don’t pass it up. It is a good experience. Price knocks this down a bit. Finally, I’d be remiss if I did not mention how classy the crystal bottle is that holds this tequila.

Current release (2023ish) I will revisit this page after I taste its first release

notes are from a tasting I did in 2016 this is good but expensive so the value brought my rating down a few points

Enjoyable XA, but quite pricey

Oak and caramel …… dried fruit …. Barrel spices and some vanilla and agave on the back end some burn and slight minerality

An outstanding Anejo, incredibly made, outrageous bottle and packaging from Patron. Very pricey, needs to be enjoyed slowly and with friend who will appreciate its value

This is from Old Town Tequila. “Gran Patrón Burdeos is made from 100% Weber Blue Agave, is distilled and then aged in American and French oak barrels at Hacienda Patrón distillery in Jalisco, Mexico. It’s then distilled again and racked in vintage Bordeaux barrels.” On the nose I smell cooked agave, oak, and wine. I also get some slight caramel. It’s pleasant. On the first taste I get a lot of smooth oak and agave. On the second sip I get sweet agave and wine barrel. The finish is short and sweet. Overall this is a great sipper but the price hurts the rating. It’s priced anywhere between $449 and $349. If you have the money and love tequila you won’t be disappointed but at that price you can purchase a lot of other tequilas. ¡Salud! AustinTequilaConnoisseurs

Entirely lovely, not many agave forward añejos on the market so add this to your collection. A little bitter on the finish to be “elite” but it’s really phenomenal.

Lovely copper color. Nose: Rich, full aroma. Deep, dark ripe fruit overtones, vanilla, orange peel, dried apricot, walnuts, peach, cedar shavings, and an earthy slightly acidic note. Flavor: Creamy vanilla, almond, round baking spices, bourbon oak, and warming pepper. Some herbal notes: maybe a hint of dill weed, anise and artichoke. Finishes with some caramel. Balanced medium long finish, a first class tequila. $$$$$

Wonderfully aged with unique smooth complex flavours... Just to damn pricey and this reduces its score..

The price on this excellent tequila kills the score.

Super smooth, no burn whatsoever and goes great in a cocktail!

Aroma is agave and oak Taste is sweet agave with notes of pepper, caramel and oak Finish is medium and smooth with a nice warmth in the back of the throat

this is a really nice sipping tequila. I love the strong oak tastes and the wine barrel notes. beautiful color. excellent presentation.

A little harsh on the lips

Wooden notes with a subtle warmth. Velvety feel a characteristic of aging in French oak barrels. Almost wine like.

Savored a shot of this at a celebrity chef’s restaurant in Las Vegas. Worth the tasting experience. Not usually one to be enamored by pretty bottles, the heft and intricate feel of the design of this bottle stopper is truly a thing of beauty.

Oaky

Oaky. Tastes like a brandy.

Like brandy

I tried this tequila while celebrating my son’s graduation from the university. It’s an amazing tequila, very pricey but worth the celebration. I absolutely love its copper color I think it’s rather unique. On the nose I get cooked agave, minerals, oak and dried smokey fruits with very similar taste. Finish was rather short but sweet (caramel) very minimal bite.

Comes from deep well water sources 12 months in a French oak Smells oaky Tastes oaky and smooth Cleared the sinuses

Fermented in Wood tanks Fermented with fibres in french oak mills is not common
