September 12, 2007 4 Copas Anejo is hands down one of my top ten favorites, at first I was kinda of stand off-ish because of the whole organic thing, not knowing what it initially entailed, but once I investigated the whole organic tequila subject, I realized how significant this was, I needed to know this for the simple fact that when I first do a tasting on a product, it is important to know what you are up against, knowing it's history and all the facts surrounding it's creation, makes it just that much easier to appreciate the time and efforts put into such a unique Tequila.
I recieved a sample of all three of their Tequilas and wow, was I floored by not only the quality, but by the presentation, the bottle was bottle, and i sampled the Anejo with friends who just happen to own a cigar shop, and by thier own account, they said they have never had a spirit, of tequila, scotch, whiskey,etc. pair so well with a good cigar like 4 Copas Anejo. I'm not a smoker so i can't attest to that, but i do hold their opinion very dearly, I personally loved 4 Copas Anejo, and it's too bad that it doesn't sell in Texas, yet... But, i was glad to get the opportunity to try this organic tequila.
At first glance the bottles smokey appearance reminds me of the Milagro bottles, holding the bottle to light and letting the gold label reflect from back to front really makes the bottle more intruiging, upon opening the bottle and letting it rest for about 3 minutes, you can certainly smell the earthyiness that is seeping from the top, once poured into a reidel glass, the color hypnotizes your eyes, as you dissect the nose,and color of the Anejo, you get that feeling in your jaw that you get when you're about to taste something sour. The initail taste is for a quick second harsh, but quickly goes into a mellow oily vanilla like state, you can certainly taste the smokiness in this anejo,and as you sample the body, the small notes of a buttery,citrus like earthiness quickly appear, and as this Anejo slowly slides down that sensation stays with you,and numbs the throat, a definite plus for me. Tequila 4 Copas is one of the best i have had in awhile, and considering i might not see it around this area for awhile if you have this Anejo readily available in your area, i would definitely appreciate it's value.

 August 02, 2007 The whole idea of having a pear in the bottle is a trea, and actually looking at it is something else, the moment the bottle is opened,you are hit by the aroma of you guessed it, a pear, very fruity sweet aroma, but that is not always a good thing, initial taste is somewhat mediocre, for a moment you are confused as to what exactly you are tasting is a apple cider vinager or cooking wine, very strange, once it passes through the finish is rather smooth with a slight bitterness, that surprisingly enough, does not go away, it stays with you, i thought this product is okay, my wife and her sisters loved it, they liked that sweet quality that carried through the entire sip.Good mezcal, definietly different.

 August 01, 2007 Todd sent me a bottle of each of his tequilas,and this one stood out, for a blanco, it was very earthy, you could practically feel the thorn from the agce leaf in your mouth, they say the key to a good blanco is to keep the essence of the agave in the blanco, and todd acomplished that! well done. The initial aroma is rather strong, but pleasing, the taste comes off a little bitter, but rapidly fades out into the earthy agave taste i love in a good blanco, full of body and a real smooth finish, this tequila is very well made.

 August 01, 2007 Reposado is sometimes the toughest category for me to rate,especially when this particular selection can almost compare to a handful of other repos, it definitely has a strong aroma od citrus notes, layered with notes of spice, although fairly soft in my mouth, with light vanilla, and cinnamon hints, it does give way to a more harsh finish of caramel,almost bitter caramel... a good reposado.

 August 01, 2007 this is defintely one that Don Julio needs to work on,with an overall earthy agave taste, with slighlt notes of citrus this one is definitely the "runt" in the family, the aroma is almost too crisp, with all the citrus notes, and the taste all agave flavor,with a clean yet dry peppery finish, i recently attended a tasting of the Don Julio brands, and was totally not on board with the representative from diageo preference of blanco over the repo,and anejo, just couldn't understand why, but i kept that to myself, and respected her choice, after all,that's the beautiful thing about tastings, everybody is entitled to their own opinion. DOn Julio's blanco is an average contender in this category.
