Review Detail

Sauza Hornitos Anejo NOM 1102 Tasted on 2/22/08 at 9:30pm. I tried this tequila at the Graduate in Davis, CA and tasted it out of a snifter glass. The tequila is amber brown in color. The Hornitos aromas consist of intense fruit and floral aspects followed by moderate earth and caramel. On the lighter side, this Anejo has mild aromas of spice. On the tongue, this tequila is mellow and has a oily mouth feel. While the tequila has moderate agave flavor, it is fairly sweet and has only a hint of bitterness. The flavor of this tequila contains intense notes of earth, coffee, and caramel followed by moderate agave, floral, and wood aspects. Deeper flavors of Hornitos Anejo consist of mild vanilla. Upon finishing this tequila, there is a medium duration of flavor and subtle numbing alcohol intensity. I have rated this tequila at 87/88 out of 100 points.
