I paid a little more than other reviewers, but it was the only place I found it - in NY for $56. For the $35-40 others have paid I'd say it would be one of the best values out there. At $56 I'd say it's still a great anejo for the price, but in that range there are others I'd prefer. It's a high quality anejo still and for the most part just comes down to personal preference at that price point. Nose is mostly pleasant with strong caramel, vanilla, fruit, even a slight hint of floral; pretty complex aroma compared to most, even in the $50 range. A fairly thick anejo, not quite syrupy, but leaning that way. Entry is sweet and caramel/vanilla are the predominant flavors with agave and oak quickly coming forth. This actually has a touch more oak flavor than I prefer, but the agave is still present. Bottle is simple, yet unique, and done well, including a nice cork.
