The nose starts floral and sweet with chamomile, powdered sugared covered diced strawberries and lightly charred lemon and lime then a light earthiness develops with grilled portobello, asparagus and fried yucca that fades to tart fruits of sour cherries, orange zest and baked apple before transitioning to cloves, dill and light smoke with no ethanol burn. The taste is a medium and airy mouthfeel starting floral and sweet with chamomile, powdered sugared covered diced strawberries and lemon lime sorbet then a light earthiness develops with olive oil covered grilled portobello, asparagus and mashed potatoes followed by cherry cough drops, orange blossom and baked apple before transitioning to cloves, dill and vanilla creme brûlée with no ethanol burn. The finish is medium length with stewed cherries, orange blossom, vanilla creme brûlée, apple pie and very light charred asparagus. If I tried this blind, I could have easily confused this for a red wine finished rye as those roasted agave notes are very faint under those sugared red berries. This clearly seems to be a tequila aimed at whisky drinkers that has a near perfect balance between sweet and savory with the roasted agave vegetal notes and winter spices coming through to help break up those dominant sweet rich fruits which would have otherwise been an overly sweet dram. This was a fun one to explore with that unique combination of red wine and tequila that might be too sweet for some, but I found it fit my palate almost perfectly with the flavors developing more with each sip until the unfortunate end of my sample. Thanks @PBMichiganWolverine for the generous sample of this one.
