Código 1530 Rosa Tequila

Nose: Agave, light floral, light olives. Light caramel and citrus. Blueberry and red grapes. Taste: agave followed by a marshmallow creme and salty brine. Light floral and fruity finish with some light oak and chocolate.

Outstanding. The wine influence is unmistakable but not overpowering. Taken neat it held up wonderfully. Smooth and delicately complex. Price is high but I’d be hard-pressed to find a better tequila in its range

Very good

Nose - stewed agave, white pepper, sweet vanilla, caramel, clove, nutmeg, tomato, citrus zest, vegetal earthiness, yeast, mild to moderate ethanol burn. Taste - cooked agave, sweet vanilla, salted caramel, white and black pepper, ginger, citrus zest, clove, nutmeg, minerality, allspice, yeast, herbal and floral notes, mild to moderate alcohol bite, finishing medium length with cooked agave, baking spice, creamy vanilla, and citrus flavors. This is very similar to the blanco, if not a bit crisper with some added sparkling citrus notes. The wine barrel presents itself mostly in the finish, where it ends with a slightly more tannic and citric palate than its counterpart. My assessment of the blanco applies here as well, although this is $10 more, so I feel there’s even less value here. Overall, this is a solid sipper, but there are better options in the price range.

There is a floral note to the agave and lime on the nose. This is sweet and herbal on the tongue.

Smooth light agave bite with a touch of sweetness from wine finish
