Tasted with ice on May 13, 2008.

Jose Cuervo Platino Reserva de la Familia

Color: clear
Aroma: agave & the smell of the ice
Taste: light on the tongue with the taste of wet cement thoughout finishing with very little burn

This is a blanco that I felt is all name and over priced. I will not try again without the ice to see if the taste changes as other blanco have cut thru the ice with great flavors. I favor the blancos of Chinaco, Corralejo and Milagro. My current top three blanco picks as of the writing of this review.

Beautifully packaged, but I think I was paying more for that than the tequila itself! In my humble opinion, a bit overpriced. But is it a great blanco? Id have to say yes, but it doesnt break into my top five.

Aroma: Nice hints floral and earth
Initial taste: Slightly bitter but very tasty
Body: intense flavors of agave and earth
Finish and duration: A bit of a short numbing finish for me.

Jose Cuervo Reserva de la Familia Platino 2007 NOM 1122 Tasted on 11/23/07 at 7:00pm. I tried this tequila at the Davis Graduate Tequila Bar and tasted it in a snifter glass. This bottle comes with a wooden box. With clear color, this tequila has intense aromas of floral and earth. Other aromas include moderate spice and smoke with mild fruit accents. The tequila has a thin mouth feel and on the first sip is sweet with mild bitterness. Intense flavors of agave, earth, and smoke are followed by moderate notes of spice, chemicals, and floral flavors. With a medium duration of flavor this tequila finishes with a numbing finish. Jose Cuervo Reserva de la Familia Platino 2007 has received the rating of 86 points out of 100.

I tasted this on 2/29/08 at 7:20pm. I purchased the bottle at a price of 54.99 and tasted out of a riedel glass. The presentation was beautiful in a wooden box and the labeling was nice as well. As for the taste, the initial taste is very solid and a well-noted Agave flavor. I could taste the hints of vanilla in the beginning followed by a very smooth finish without much bite. The overall price vs. quanity is exceptional. I liked this purchase very much.

One of the smoothest blancos I have tasted, light and unique taste and a pretty good deal at 50 bucks. The wood box package is a nice addition.
