Cava de Oro Extra Añejo

95 SCORE

“A definite sipper with intense toffee sweetness. The agave is mostly obscured in this one, but the overall effect is pure luxury, like fine cognac. These Cavas progress very smoothly from the milder, more agave-forward reposado to the liqueur-like dense sweetness of the extra añejo, and I love all three for what they are. The repo for your nightly drinker, añejo for getting liquored up after dinner, and extra añejo for special-occasion sipping.”

“Had less sweetness than I’d like in an extra añejo, and more forward with the agave. I can see where people might like this kind of vegetal profile, but I prefer more barrel.”

“Pleasant sweetness and quite complex...agave is not super forward, and there are nice notes of caramel and anise.”
