I actually finished off the bottle a couple months ago and completely forgot to post a review, so this will be all from memory, but while I feel like this is a very good anejo tequila, I will say it's getting a bit too expensive for what it is in my opinion.
I don't remember much of the nose, but I feel like it was pretty on point with the taste, with caramel, touch of oak and citrus peel. I remember it being a touch sweet, but I think it complimented the oak. The finish had decent length and introduced cinnamon to the mix, with no burn whatsoever.
I bought this bottle a few years ago when you could still buy it for under $100, but nowadays it seems like it's hard to get it anywhere close to that. I think it's a very good tequila, but I'm not sure it's worth the price tag these days. This nearly qualifies as an extra anejo tequila (it's rested 32-35 months), but falls a couple months short, so while it would be considered one of the most expensive anejo tequilas out there, it may be appropriate to split the difference of the prices between an anejo and an extra anejo. Either way, seems a touch expensive for me, so I gave it a 4, but I can easily see why a lot of reviews have it closer to a 4.5.
