    “Lote 3-R Nose is almost “oily”. Agave, cinnamon, pear, hint of vanilla Mouth & taste - oily, smooth. Cooked agave, pepper, vanilla, anise Finish - long, lingering sense of burn. Exquisite. Their Blanco is my favorite, and I think this is my new favorite Repo. It’s pricy, so not my everyday, but a wonderful celebration when it’s time. ”

    “Nose: sweet agave, pear, maybe cherry, and then a hint of vanilla Taste: very welcoming, not too sharp, but classic. Agave, red currant, green grape, but turning a light pepper and hint of grapefruit Finish: very smooth, especially for a Blanco. A bit sweeter than I’m used to, but not artificial. It’s pure and extremely enjoyable. I’d put this next to Lalo and slightly below Wild Common (my favorite Blanco)”

    “Nose - sweet agave, pepper, vanilla, hint of cinnamon, pear. Taste - very smooth and flavor explodes in the mouth. Cooked agave, caramel, vanilla, pear or green grape, Great finish. Quick burn, mellows quickly but lasting flavor. This could be the best Blanco I’ve ever had. Love it! Pricey, but worth it for special occasions. Share it with your friends!”

    “Unbelievable tequila. Exquisite. Nose has pear, sweet agave, hint of cinnamon, Madagascar vanilla, and some oak Forward is so smooth. It enters and smoothly slides in. No harsh bite. It just materializes. Taste in the mouth just explodes: sweet agave, pear, nectarine, hint of vanilla. The finish is incredibly smooth. It’s there… and then it’s gone. No too much burn, but enough to remind you that it’s tequila. This is one of the best pure tequilas I’ve ever tasted. I can taste the quality, traditional process, and care that goes in to making this spirit. My new favorite Repo”

    “Overly sweet, although if it’s the first thing you drink you may not notice it. After drinking a classically made tequila, the sweetness really stands out. Lots of caramel & vanilla Sugary on the tongue Agave on the finish”
