Aroma: Agave, wood, earth, and roasted nuts. Initial taste: Surprisingly sweet, smooth. Body: Complex with flavors of wood, vanilla, agave, and dry grass. Finish: The sweetness just keeps going. Very smooth, if a bit anticlimactic. I find that this tequila doesn't finish with an "oomph", but rather begs you to drink more to remind yourself of the flavors you experienced while it was in your mouth. I'd like to see the agave sweetness balanced a bit more with the dryness of the wood. Overall, I think this tequila is really good. I'd love to keep a bottle around all the time. But at $50, I think it's fair to say that there are other reposados that have better value (Siete Leguas being the first that comes to mind). If I ever find it on sale though, all bets are off! ]]> Wed, 05 Oct 2011 17:04:13 -0400 103-897 http://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/4-copas-tequila-reposado.html Taste out of a snifter on 11/23/08. 4 Copas reposado is an excellent reposado, the whole 4 Copas line is just beautiful. Usually reposados are the least favorite of mine. But when it comes to this one, that opinion goes to the dogs! I highly recommend this one for new tequila drinkers, it will welcome them with open arms. Aroma: A very subtle yet present nose of lemongrass and wood. Initial Taste: A semi oily mouth feel, upon entry it's nice and sweet with no bitterness and an initial taste of caramel. Body: A warm and beautifully complex body of agave, complimented by wood, caramel, and citrus. Finish: An ever so lightly heated finish of long duration, with a lingering aftertaste of agave and caramel. One of the best finishes I ever experienced. ]]> Sun, 23 Nov 2008 13:30:39 -0500 103-409 http://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/4-copas-tequila-reposado.html 4 Copas gets it right, yet again, with their reposado. The nose is not overpowering, but smells of cooked agave and also contains a mild floral sweetness with hints of cinnamon and clove. The initial taste yields more agave with mild to moderate oakiness - nice in a repo. 4 Copas reposado is light in the mouth. The finish is sweet and smooth with a medium-long duration of flavor. Right now, I feel the domestic reposado market is fairly weak and so any good reposado really stands out. 4 Copas is certainly one of my absolute favorites and I highly recommend it to both blanco and aged tequila lovers. ]]> Mon, 26 Nov 2007 09:10:35 -0500 103-180 http://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/4-copas-tequila-reposado.html 4 Copas Reposado NOM 1457 Tasted 3/5/07. The tequila is a yellow golden color with intense floral and earthy aromas. A soft mellow entry leads to a sweet taste, with low bitterness and moderate-to-heavy agave flavor. While there is moderate-to-heavy agave flavor, the tequila has moderate earthy and floral flavors with mild fruit, caramel, and smoke. The tequila finishes with a long duration of flavor and a numbing alcohol finish. Overall, I gave the tequila an A-. ]]> Sun, 27 May 2007 17:16:19 -0400
