Barrique de Ponciano Porfidio Tequila Anejo

Porfidio Barrique Anejo No NOM Tasted on 9/18/07 at 6:00pm. I purchased this tequila at Sundance in Sacramento, CA for $65 and tasted it out of a 4 ounce glass. The tequila is a amber brown color. This Anejo’s aromas consist of intense caramel and fruit aspects followed by moderate floral, spice, and smoke. On the lighter side, this Anejo has mild aromas of vanilla and earth. On the tongue, this tequila is mellow and has a heavy mouth feel. While the tequila has heavy agave flavor, it is sweet and syrupy with no bitterness. The flavor of this tequila contains intense notes of agave and caramel followed by moderate fruit, floral, wood, and vanilla aspects. Upon finishing this tequila, there is a very long duration of flavor and numbing alcohol intensity. I have rated this tequila at 96 out of 100 points.
