A very kind customer recently invited us to open his bottle and sample it. I had little intention of opening mine, preferring instead to display the superb bottle. In a Reidel glass it presented as follows:

Colour is a very pale gold. Nose is quite inviting, with mild agave, olive, herbals and wood. A slightly sharp attack with an initial very brief flash of sweetness quickly turns bitter. Bitterness and alcohol dominate a thin body which offers little agave. Finishes moderately with persistent bitterness and alcohol burn.
Clearly, the magnificent bottle is the strong point of this reposado and the only reason I have it in my collection. The $65 bottle price is simply not supported by the contents - it is "eye-candy" plain and simple... a below-average reposado in a stunning package.
