I love this bottle; it is rounded at the bottom with a long neck to a beautiful glass top (stopper). The top is a glass circle with the simple but elegant logo of a man's head with a wide-brimmed hat. The image is cut into the center of the stopper using a laser beam. On the shelf, this is a fantastic bottle for bar customers to look at. If tequila sales at bars are based on what the bottle looks like - this one will sell well. The stopper itself is rubber rather than cork - and this is a positive for people taking the bottle home. The price is quite reasonable so no one is going to complain about that. Let's cut to the chase. In a Riedel glass, the color is a light caramel to copper; rather pleasant actually. Swirling the tequila exposes a thick "leggy" liquid. I would say this is not a crystal clear spirit - rather dull. Aromatics are strong with agave and citrus; the bouquet being a bit "yeasty." It assaults the nose. Mouth feel is thick and viscous. Flavor is strongly agave and I can detect virtually no "barrel" influence. This tequila has a simple, straightforward flavor that does not lend itself to sipping. Great when used in mixed drinks, especially Palomas made with real grapefruit juice! Lingering taste is briny and rough and it does not migrate from start to finish. It is what it is. Put this bottle on your shelf for looks and drink it with your friends who have never tried it. ]]> Fri, 16 Aug 2013 05:59:47 +0000 <![CDATA[Senor Rio Tequila Reposado: ]]> https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=1271 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=1271 Senor Rio Reposado * Tasted Blind September 2009 * Riedel Tequila Glass Appearance: light straw - thick body and slow tears Aroma: cooked agave, light grass with wood and citrus Initial Taste: sweet agave, hints of pepper and lemon Spirit Body: warm mouthfeel, light smoked agave Finish / Aftertaste: wood and mint finish with short mint aftertaste ]]> Sun, 20 Sep 2009 19:00:12 +0000
