The anejo is so good, that I really wanted to try the base that they started with. Is it as good as the aged one, or is the secret in the barrel? Aroma: Wonderful nose of agave and citrus. Hints of grass. Initial Taste: A really clean and crisp agave flavor with lemon and light pepper. Body: A medium and oily body. Agave continues to be the prominent flavor. Very clean and crisp flavor. No earthy flavors at all. Finish: A fairly short finish with a light peppery note mixed with the agave sweetness. Not memorable in terms of flavor, but it is really easy going down. This tequila is a consummate smooth blanco sipper. Not challenging, but very tasty and ultra smooth. Lots of agave and citrus. Really pleasant. It's not quite as good as the anejo, but it would great for all tequila drinkers. Riazul is priced at a premium, but in the end it's a very good tequila...and probably worth the price. ]]> Fri, 09 Nov 2012 04:53:44 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=1040 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=1040 Riazul Silver * Tasted Blind 2-22-09 * Riedel Tequila Glass Appearance: clear - full body and slow tears Aroma: earthy and herbal, buttery agave, hint of vanilla Initial Taste: mild sweet agave, citrus, chalky mouthfeel Spirit Body: heated, minty agave, mild butter Finish / Aftertaste: warm mouthfeel, floral with mild chocolate aftertaste Two characteristics in Riazul that are not normally found in blanco Tequilas, the vanilla in the nose, and the chocolate aftertaste. Interesting and unique profile. ]]> Sun, 22 Feb 2009 14:23:15 +0000
