Tasting Notes
"This is a fine example of a reposado that represents the perfect transition between blanco and añejo. The vegetal notes of the blanco are still present, with more of a caramelized texture and a good amount of spice, but still retaining vibrant fruit flavors. It's very subtle and easy to sip, without being over-oaked."
