40% ABV

General Gorostieta repo 40 abv Trying this for the second time. First time was about a month ago, and it was a neck pour. It opened up quite nicely. Nose: barrel spices, dried fruit, sweet cooked agave, cinnamon, pepper, some minerality and mild oak. Palate: is sweeter than the nose indicates - caramel, vanilla, barrel spices. I don't get a lot of oak on the palate, which makes me happy. Hubby said he got nuts, maybe walnuts. Hmm, I'm feeling that, but not sure which nuts it is. Finish: a nice warmth with a sweetness that lingers very nicely. Other: sipped from a Riedel glass. buttery mouthfeel. Nose from empty glass is really good!
