October 19, 2008 I have not been a great fancier of reposados, but this one, coupled with its price point makes me rethink things.

Packaging with its metal export label is simple but elegant. Nose is rich and full of agave, earth and spice. Sweet attack caresses the tongue as it rolls to a pleasantly bitter body which offers more agave and spice. Aroma deepens with more bright agave and wood notes. Finishes moderately with a very agreeable tingle.

This is a well crafted and well priced reposado.

 October 19, 2008 A very kind customer recently invited us to open his bottle and sample it. I had little intention of opening mine, preferring instead to display the superb bottle. In a Reidel glass it presented as follows:

Colour is a very pale gold. Nose is quite inviting, with mild agave, olive, herbals and wood. A slightly sharp attack with an initial very brief flash of sweetness quickly turns bitter. Bitterness and alcohol dominate a thin body which offers little agave. Finishes moderately with persistent bitterness and alcohol burn.
Clearly, the magnificent bottle is the strong point of this reposado and the only reason I have it in my collection. The $65 bottle price is simply not supported by the contents - it is "eye-candy" plain and simple... a below-average reposado in a stunning package.

 October 17, 2008 We were first offered a taste of Chimayo Reposado in a pomegranate mixture and it was quite tasty. Turns out that the Blanco and the Reposado were both selling in Sacramento for $12.98 (are we still in "Budget Week?" so I decided to taste it for the record.
Colour - pale straw
Nose - bright agave, vague smoke and alcohol.
Initial taste - Semi sweet, very mild agave.
Body - Thin in the mouth, minimal burn and no bitterness.
Finish - Brief, mild and without distinction.
Overall it is unpretentious and undistinguished. For the price it is a good party-grade mixer - certainly much better than the higher priced and more familiar mixtos.

 October 06, 2008 Bright and clear with a nickel sheen. Characteristic of its region, nose offers florals, fruit & mild agave. Oily and semi-sweet in the mouth with an agreeable alcohol balance. Sweetness fades in a moderate finish leaving a satisfying tingle and mild herbal & spice aftertaste.
Excellent value for the $21 price. It makes a very, very good margarita.

 October 05, 2008 Adriana tasted it first and sighed, "Ah... tierra mojada." ... remembering the moist earth aromas of her native Morelia.
Pale gold colour, clear and polished. Nose carries earth, agave, dark spice and faint smoke.
Initial taste is earth, sweet agave, herbals and spice. Moderate body offers mild agave presence, spice and a hint of chocolate. Fade is modest and fairly well balanced, with a suggestion of wood and cinnamon.
Overall, and for the price ($30) this is a pretty agreeable reposado in an attractive pagkage. So far I have seen it only in Duty-Free outlets. The distiller has little information on the Internet as of October, 2008.
