Dark fruit and butterscotch aromas, noticeably oakier than the repo. Fruity palate, some butterscotch and cinnamon, with a more chocolatey, oaky finish. It's quite nice, but not enough to justify the high price compared to the repo (or ArteNOM 1146, which also ages in wine barrels).

Agave and oak are the key aromas. The agave is still strong on the tongue but comes with a pillow of caramel, mellowing it all out.
Subtle aromas of oak and fig, light taste of chilis and pepper turning into a very warming aftertaste. Definitely a sipper.
Pale gold. Strong chocolate, herbal. Slightly sweet, melon, stone. Mild. Pleasant bigger tequila, feels very processed.
Oak, vanilla, and some dried fruit on the end. Very enjoyable yet try’s finish is short leaving it not very memorable.
Fantastic bottle. Love this entire line of Napa cab casked tequila! My favorite bottle from south of the border.
