Rating: 9/23 This bottle has been down to the last pour for months, so this may not be a representative tasting. N: Sweet, minerals, confectioner's sugar. Faint stewed agave with caramel bordering on banana. This smells concerning. P: Super smooth. Some spices (cinnamon, ginger, a bit of some sort of pepper). Some earth is here that borders on smoke. Less aggressive sweetness and more fullness than I'd expected. Still, I get some confectioner's sugar coating my tongue. A hint of lime, but it's really more of a suggestion. Lots of minerals, as if this was made with hard water. Faint waxiness. Some caramel with a hint of banana to it. There is some nice stewed agave flavor in here, but it often gets buried. F: Minerals scented with stewed agave. A bit of that banana caramel. Some earthy bitterness at points. Confectioner's sugar coating my tongue. - Conclusion - Why did I at one point think this was good? It has tons of minerals and confectioner's sugar. I would have guessed that this was a mixto. This isn't the worst thing ever, but it's a hard pass. A 12 certainly isn't in sight here. I think the highest I could go is a 9 - or just maybe a 10. A 6 seems too harsh, so it's going to be a 7 to 9. I'm torn between an 8 and a 9. I'll give it the 9.
