Way too high of a rating for this. Tastes like a headache, has too much bitterness and I disagree with the other posters that it's smooth. Quite a fair amount of alcohol burn is still there. It's nicely grassy and fresh, but the mouthfeel is kind of flat. The nose matches this, soft and bright, but flat again. The killer is that it's got a sort of "dirty" taste, not smoky or salty but more like earth, but in a bad way. It's good for the price, but I have both a bottle of this and Altos Reposado at home (same price range) and I prefer the Altos hands down, it's smoother, has a better mouthfeel and has a more round flavor, even though it's rated 8 points lower on here.

After letting the bottle sit half drunk for a while, I would update my ranking. The oxidation has done a ton of good for this tequila. Where the alcohol burn used to cover up the balance of flavor, now it's much much smoother, and the flavor balances nicer. After oxidation I would up my rating to 4 stars.
