Dark fruit and butterscotch aromas, noticeably oakier than the regular bottling. Fruity palate, some butterscotch and cinnamon, with a more chocolatey, oaky finish. It's quite nice, but not enough to justify the high price compared to the regular bottling (or ArteNOM 1146, which also matures in wine barrels).

Agave and oak are the primary aromas. The agave is still potent on the tongue but is accompanied by a layer of caramel, mellowing everything out.
Subtle aromas of oak and fig, light taste of chilis and pepper leading into a very warming aftertaste. Definitely a drink to be savored.
Pale gold. Intense chocolate, herbal notes. Slightly sweet, with melon and stone fruit. Mild. It has a pleasant, robust tequila-like quality, but feels very manufactured.
Notes of oak, vanilla, and some dried fruit appear at the end. It's very enjoyable, but the finish is brief, making it not very memorable.
Amazing bottle. I really like all the tequila from this brand that has been aged in Napa cab barrels! It's my top pick from Mexico.
