I am a huge fan of this brand,and the blanco line is a good testament of what a real blanco should taste,the inital nose of the aerated blanco is excellent, rather earthy but sweet, with a real heavy earthy feel, you can really taste the agave in this one, a really full body that gives way to a slight bitterness, that is often good in certain blancos, as long as it is evenly matched with a sweet smooth finish, the price is fair for this selection, and the presentation , well i have always been a fan of the whole melted wax... execllent blanco.

this extra aged tequila has it's ups and owns so lets start with it pros, the aromas surrounding this anejo are literally breath taking delicate and sweet honey aroma. which for an extra anejo is so far out in left field, as it sits in you mouth the honeyness turn sinto a sweet vanilla, kind of a buttercream feel, and ultimately finished really smooth, compared to other exta anejo, this does set a standard, but not a new standard, it it really well packaged with an all around excellent product, now the price, well to an aficionado, price wouldn't be a factor, because it's worth every penny, and should be compared to a finely aged cognac, but to others it might seem too high, all in all Asombroso really did their homework with this selection. excellent tequila.

Vintage bordeaux wine barrels are used to rest this product, that says it all, the floral scents hit you from the minute you open this bottle. Price is right on the money, and presentation, well it's obvious, a pink tequila, never before done, and it really was done well, the color beautifully brings out the curiosity in this spirit, sweet floral scents, and once opened and aerated the obvious characteristics to bordeaux wine is present. Body and finish rate are a toss up for me, with a hint of spiceness,and pepperery taste fill the body and as it pass through into the finish it pass smooth with a sweet vanilla finish, Ricardo is sitting on a winner with this one, congrats.

OKay,this restaurant is currently closed, due to relocation, but with a re-grand opening in mid-august, it's bound to attract alot of attention, Zotico Reyes(Owner) is ready for the big day.... i personally spoke to him, and he is excited, we might even work on doing a tasting there shortly after it reopens it's doors. Agave Azul has gotten rave reviews, and has even been previewed on t.v shows, such as "La Vida"

Dallas is known for it's hip,trendy,upscale restaurants. And recently added a new Mexican-Chic, restaurant to it's A-list. Trece Restaurant and Tequila Lounge. This place is awesome! With it's over 150 premium tequilas, it'll have a grown man down on his knees bowing to it's great wall of Agave Spirits. Ultra premium names like Seleccion Suprema, Don Julio Real, Rey Sol, Paradiso, Milagro Romance, and the list goes on and on. House Specialty drinks like their Pinarindo Margarita, Sally Chihuahua and it's "ultimate margarita" Stodg-a-rita,named after Dallas' famous barrister Steve Stodghill,and his lovely wife. The Stodgarita includes Seleccion Suprema (yes that's correct) fresh mexican lime juice,organic Agave nectar,and a splash of red bull. This drink is definitely worth it's hefty price tag. Samples or "flights" of tequilas are sold also for very reasonable prices. and thier online menu list' like a who's who of premuim tequilas.(check it out)

The atmosphere is that of an ultra hip lounge on one side,and upscale restaurant on the other,with appitizers like Guacamole en Molcajete (prepared tableside) and Yucatan Tuna Ceviche are my favs. It's gets even better with entrees like Langosta Capeada, and Steak "Enojado", and of course their signature desserts. So when in Dallas, make it your mission, to try Trece, you'll be glad you did.
