August 20, 2008 Tasted out of high ball glass. Oro Azul Reposado picks up exactly where its blanco left off and adds a hint of wood and caramel. A very decent reposado. Very similar to my review of its blanco. I would say this is a good reposado for new tequila/reposado drinkers.

Aroma: A very creamy, vanilla, pear like aroma with hints of wood and smoke.
Initial Taste:I thin mouth tequila. Starting off with a pear like fruity taste.
Body: Followed by strong agave presence with hints of fruit, spice, and wood. More so the wood than the fruit, but not overbearing wood taste. Very complimentary to the agave.
Finish: A very soft pleasant fruity, spicy finish of medium duration and no alcohol burn.

 August 19, 2008 Visited on 08/16/08. Casa Del Matador was a great place. Its more tex-mex than mexican. Their agave selection was not too big, but they had some really good ones that I usually don't see. The staff was VERY friendly and the service was super fast. The prices were very decent and the food was great!

 August 18, 2008 Tasted 08/16/08 out of double ball glass. I'm a bit hesitant to try anything endorsed by someone who thinks blancos are aged. But I thought I'd give it a shot. I was very impressed. A very unique aroma and taste. Definitely top shelf, lots of character.

Aroma: Agave, spice, and clove.
Initial Taste: On the tip of tongue, its sweet with no bitterness. A thin mouth feel.
Body: A nicely balanced agave, with cinnamon, earth, and pear.
Finish: A heated finish of medium duration.

 August 18, 2008 Tasted on 8/16/08 out of high ball glass. This is a great reposado. Usually, I lean towards a blanco and second anejos. But this reposado stands out to me. A great sipper. I'm just a huge fan of the whole El Tesoro line.

Aroma: Smoke, agave, and wood.
Initial Taste: On tip of tongue, its sweet with no bitterness, a thin mouth feel.
Body: Excellent body of agave, citrus, and wood. The thing I liked about this body was that the wood was very faint and not overbearing.
Finish: A semi heated finish of medium duration.

 August 13, 2008 Tasted on 08/13/08 out of double ball glass. What a great anejo. I thought earlier today that I had tasted a great anejo, but I came to this one and I was very impressed. Not the typical anejo. Not syrupy, not carmely. Im looking forward to getting a bottle of this.

Aroma: Cinnamon, and spices.
Initial Taste: Nice and sweet, not too sweet. No bitterness, a semi oily mouth feel.
Body: Very balanced agave, with wood, cinnamon, earth, and spices. The balance was very nice, and there was alot to balance!
Finish: A semi heated duration, with no alcohol burn. A very decent finish.

I like this one alot.
