I find this pretty underwhelming in terms of flavor profile that I most want in a blanco. There is also tannin bitterness, perhaps also some unsweetened chocolate in the finish, most likely from the aging, that throws off the experience for me a bit. I taste agave, but it's much less bold than other blancos that I've had. The agave flavor feels muted, almost as if it were diluted, like a mixture of vodka and tequila instead of just tequila. There is some zesty citrus, and it does quite pop strongly enough and I'd prefer it to be more front and center. I do definitely pick up some traces of red fruit from the brief stint in wine barrels. It's not bad - it's actually quite good, but at the same price range I've found a few other blancos that I enjoy quite a bit more. There are other spirits I'd pick over this virtually any time, so not likely to earn a permanent place in my collection.
