25 reviewsClay and mineral flavours at first, the aging is light on with some citrus and wood. Candy and butterscotch hints on the back palate as well as dried fruits. The ABV of 42% gives this reposado a sharpness that belies the aging giving it a more immature taste than some others. Low smoke and only a touch of leather. Lot: MR-048
