It didn't fail to deliver what I was expecting at all. Aroma: The nose doesn't do the complexity of this tequila justice. It does smell a bit like a cognac, but with agave presence. Initial Taste: Sweet agave and mild spice with some citrus. Body: This is where the tequila shines. As it sits on your palate, you really get the spices and citrus along with the cooked agave. Cinnamon really stands out. Finish: Pleasant tingle, very light burn and a nice long finish. This is an outstanding tequila from top to bottom. It's a bit pricey at about $60 a bottle, but it's worth it. I'd recommend it to anyone. The presentation is good. The bottle is heavy duty and looks good on a shelf. The cap is poorly thought out, cheap and more difficult to get off than it should be. Overall this is an A tequila. ]]> Thu, 19 Jan 2012 17:05:22 -0500 1065-1973 http://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/riazul-tequila-anejo.html A wonderful surprise ! You could enjoy this tequila the way you would a fine single malt scotch. A beautiful aroma, smooth taste, but I think the finish is the biggest surprise. A smooth, slightly sweet, almost cognac taste. Not the usual peppery taste of most tequilas. ]]> Tue, 21 Jun 2011 02:41:59 -0400 1065-1648 http://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/riazul-tequila-anejo.html An extremely unique experience. The nose is of light agave and I could swear a bit of bubblegum, though it's quick. The mouthfeel is very soft and silky. The inital taste is of light agave then transitions to a cinnamon spice flavored body. The finish doesn't linger and leaves with zero burn. This is completely different than any other Tequila I have had and it's made it's way into a permanent spot onto my Tequila shelf. ]]> Sun, 15 Aug 2010 22:57:54 -0400 1065-958 http://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/riazul-tequila-anejo.html I recently had the opportunity to taste Riazul Anejo tequila and I must say it is one of the tastiest and smoothest tequilas. Some popular Anejos have appealing intital tastes but lack a good finish. It also has great aroma and body. I had Riazul before dinner neat and after dinner on the rocks...it is a great before and afterdinner/lunch drink. An original presentation with beautiful balance, Riazul Anejo tequila is a superb find! ]]> Mon, 29 Dec 2008 20:54:10 -0500 1065-934 http://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/riazul-tequila-anejo.html Riazul Anejo * Tasted Blind 12-27-08 * Riedel Tequila Glass Appearance: copper, golden hues - thick body and slow tears Aroma: caramel, agave, mild clove and almond Initial Taste: light floral and sweet agave Spirit Body: mild agave and wood with butter, vanilla and cinnamon Finish / Aftertaste: warm mouthfeel, short butter and cinnamon aftertaste A pleasant surprise in this Anejo, full of excellent aromas and flavors, and not over-oaked ]]> Sat, 27 Dec 2008 23:25:49 -0500
