Trago Tequila Silver

Trago Silver NOM 1474 Tasted on 4/18/08 at 9:10pm. I tried this tequila at the Grad Tequila Bar in Davis, CA and tasted it in a snifter. With a clear color, this tequila has intense aromas of earth and spice with moderate floral and smoke. Other aromas include hints of fruit. The tequila has a thin mouth feel and on the first sip it has a low level of sweetness with minimal bitterness. Trago Silver has intense flavors of agave, floral, and smoke followed by moderate notes of earth and spice. With a medium to long duration of flavor, minimal tastes of fruit bring this tequila to a subtle numbing finish. Trago Silver has received the rating of 89 points out of 100.

I got this as a present at christmas, and I have been drinking it for a bit so I thought it was time for a review. On the nose this is fairly clean with some lemon/lime citrus, agave and some pepper. On the palate there isn't a bunch of complexity with pepper, agave, and tar. The body doesn't stun me, not super crisp, or super complex. The finish is of medium length but mostly carries the tarry taste. I was going to rate the presentation 84 and then I thought I better double check to see what I rated the other Trago I had rated. Guess what I rated that 84 so I guess I'm pretty consistent in my opinion on this presentation.
For the price-about 70 canadian there are many better blancos.
