This isn't a bad reposado by any means. It just strikes me as being somewhat pricey for what it offers. On the nose it was of agave and a bit leathery. Try it though and it does taste quite a bit like chocolate and vanilla, the official review nailed it. You catch a glimpse of the agave on the way out but it doesn't have much of a finish. I personally feel a lot of reposados fall in a weird no-man's-land where they don't really have the complexity of añejos or the bite of blancos. This embodies that dilemma. Still, Chinacos is peculiar both historically and as the only Tequila made in Tamaulipas it's a worthy addition to a Tequila collection.
