Tasting Notes:

Bottle # 4,580
Very pale yellow gold color.
Elegant nose of soft earth, sweet agave and vanilla oak, and mellow cinnamon-like spice.
Slight fruity character (apple/pear) are present under a very smooth body of lightly sweet agave. There is good balance of light oak toast to complement.
An excellent tequila good complexity of flavor in a soft and sweet, elegant style.
The price is high but it is well worth a try.
