Def. get a smoothness that usually isnt present in wilder agaves. Like others have said, very mineral, clean, slightly sweet and floral. Not much smoke, almost borders on a complex blanco tequila. Solid AF

If you could buy minerality in a bottle it would smell like this. It smells like soil and wet gravel after the rain. Forest floor and a hint of cherries.
Dark chocolate on the palate.
