Wow, a huge punch of smooth vanilla and sweetness on the nose. A small amount of agave can be found, but if you told me this was a flavored tequila, I would believe you just based on the smell. Salt is the first flavor I get on the tongue, then agave and a bit of wood together, then a much stronger hit of salt and agave for the finish. This definitely is on the lower side of barrel flavor for a reposado, but if you think of just the unaged product and what's there, you'll see the agave notes are above average for a good, sipping and not to mention a great, easy margarita tequila.
