Manuscrito Tequila Blanco - Chapter Two

90 SCORE

“My reaction to the first taste was “ooh this is good”. For aroma I got heavy vegetal with a little wet cement or mineral. Taste was agave, alcohol a bit of pepper and mineral. Finish is full, long lasting and the natural sweetness lingered. I really like this tequila and will include it in my next blind tasting to really see how it stacks up. ”

“Very pleasant sip. Cooked agave on the nose with some spice, caramel, barrel spice and oak. Flavor was similar but tasted some fruit notes and light sweetness as well. I like this tequila and the story behind it. For me the aromas and flavors are subtle if not a bit muted and I will continue have it in my lineup. ”

“No Agave aroma I could pick out. Vanilla & alcohol aroma with vanilla, oak and sweet (a little too sweet). Short finish not very complex. I thought I may be able to pick out notes specific to Tamaulipas but not knowing what to look for, I found nothing. ”
