I was fortunate enough to have the Gran Dovejo Reposado a short while back that I was very anxious to try to base blanco juice from the line. Aroma: A complex nose that includes agave, pepper and honey...a slight grassy note too. Initial Taste: Strong agave initial taste with a nice citrus note. Body: Medium thickness, semi-oily. A BIG and crisp agave flavor. There are slight vegetal notes that compliment the citrus flavors. It's a very complex tequila with lots of agave, but nice complex green notes as well. The honey aspect comes through in the body as well with a slight spice note that adds a hint of creaminess to it. Finish: A wonderful spicy finish. The agave is still most prominent. The pepper comes forward a lot and the citrus, honey and baking spice leave a long tasty finish that makes you want more while simultaneously reminding you how good your last sip was. NOM 1414 is probably my favorite distillery. This rates up with the best from that distillery and the best in my collection. It's slightly green, but not overly so. It's very complex, but without the flavors getting in the way of each other. It's strong from start to finish. The price and packaging say premium...and the juice inside says ultra-premium. It's a great tequila. I'd highly recommend getting some. ]]> Mon, 03 Sep 2012 03:10:27 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=2074 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=2074 This is a very well-balanced blanco. It has a very subtle nose of earth and vegetables. The taste is very pleasant, and not too strong in any particular way...again, very balanced. It continues with more vegetal taste along with agave and earth like a classic blanco would have. Nice body in the mouth and on the tongue, with a smooth finish. Not too much burn, but some spice on the back end. A very attractive bottle and presentation. A nice tequila to use as an introduction into premium tasting. ]]> Tue, 20 Sep 2011 02:56:30 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=1979 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=1979 Gran Dovejo Blanco * Tasted June 2011 * Riedel Tequila Glass Appearance: clear - slow tears Aroma: agave and black pepper with hints of olive and honey Initial Taste: sweet agave and citrus Spirit Body: asparagus and lemon Finish / Aftertaste: spicy agave finish, sweet mint aftertaste ]]> Mon, 27 Jun 2011 05:21:39 +0000
