I had of course tasted Patron before I tried Milagro and a few others such 1800 reposado. I was looking for one with the smoothness of Patron but for much less than $100 Patron costs here in Canada. Milagro reposado definitely fit the bill with taste of agave and strong hints of vanilla and only $44 a bottle. Have to order them through the LCBO though because they are difficult to find on the shelves.
