Maybe I just like a very strong presence of agave. i would have to assume the most pleasing character of this tequila is subtleness.

Aroma: slight agave and floral
Initial Taste: starting off with mild alcohol, leading to subtle hints of agave
Body: after allowing to sit in mouth, agave becomes less subtle along with earthy and peppery tones.
Finish: subtle trail of mild agave and mild alcohol sensation.

As I stated, this is a great tequila is the characters you prefer are subtle and mild. Maybe a great starter for new blanco drinkers? As for me, I prefer a stronger presence. Still a good B+ tequila for me.

Tequila Fina Estampa Blanco NOM 1436 Purchased online from Shoppers Vineyard as it is not available in my state. Tasted in Riedel glass on 2/9/08. Clear and bright in the glass. Aroma-Nose was a very pleasing blend of sweet bread and nutmeg with hints of butter, eggnog, pastry baking, and mild alcohol. First taste has a velvety agave bite with a mild mouth numbing effect. Fina is fairly strong and pleasantly pungent with a superior body. A smooth finish and mild alcohol burn makes this tequila go down way too easy. This is a very good balanced Blanco. Drink it straight, sipping and enjoying it slowly or it makes a wonderful mixer. The price makes this an outstanding value. You just can’t go wrong with this Blanco. An original bottle shape and one of the few tequilas that use outer packaging make for a special presentation.

Fina Estampa Tequila Blanco, NOM 1436. Crystal clear in color. Due to very complex noses, I almost enjoy smelling this tequila as much as drinking it, almost. 1. (Immediately after removing the cork), raw sour dough, new saddle leather, overly ripe apples & bananas, yeast. 2. (After airing), early morning dew on newly mown hay, summer. The initial taste is agave sweet & slightly smoky laced with spice. It is medium light to medium in body with a warm, glowing after sensation. The finish envelopes the tongue from middle to back & rolls off in diminishing fashion. This is an amazingly smooth blanco, start to finish, & deserves to stand next to the other finest tequilas on the top shelf. A/A+

I must say this is one of the finest blancos I have had. It has a great nose of agave and the entry has no hard alcohol taste or smell to it. As it rolls around in the mouth the flavors come out and one feels the richness of its fullness, lots going on. Coating the mouth - not burning - very smooth. The finish is great with smells and flavors and it is so easy to drink, it is dangerous, as it goes down so smooth and easy. I left a bottle (my second one)in the car for the day and it has been very cold out and when I opened it up and poured a glass it was fantastic. I am overall a blanco drinker but I will have to go and try the reposado and anejo. I look for new tequilas and this has my attention.

I live in Oregon and the Fina comes from a local importer. I have to agree with the previous review but I would give them higher marks in the Smoothness and Presentation categories. Love the bottle and comes in a nice box.
