Tasted out of a snifter. For not really caring too much for their blanco, this extra anejo is very tasty.

Aroma: A very vanilla nose with lighter notes of fruit.
Initial Taste: A very sweet entry, NO bitterness, semi oily moth feel, with an initial taste on vanilla.
Body: A body consisting of wood, vanilla, fruit, agave (lighter) and smoke.
Finish: A slightly heated finish with a woody, fruity lingering.

My biggest problem with extra anejos is the loss of agave flavor. But that being said this is pretty good for what it is.

A fantastic, rich tasting Anejo. I enjoy this tequila's thicker, oak and molasses flavor versus the "cleaner" style of anejo.

Casa Noble Anejo has skyrocketed into my number one spot (for now anyway).

A bit pricey, $85 in Western MA, but well worth it for those special occasions

Casa Noble Anejo is aged for 5 years. This is bordering on what many people consider the longest that tequila should ever be aged. And it shows. The nose reveals quite a bit of caramel and smoke. The cooked agave aroma we are so used to from Casa Noble's Blanco and Reposado plays a mild, secondary role. The initial taste is heavy and bitter. One is immediately confronted with wood and smoke with secondary flavors of coffee and chocolate. Even on the tip of the tongue, subtle sweetness is overpowered by the wood in this tequila. Casa Noble Anejo does finish fairly smooth with a medium duration of earthy flavors, but overall I was not a big fan of this anejo.

Casa Noble Anejo NOM 1137 Tasted 4/2/07. The tequila is a golden brown color and has an intense earth, caramel, and smoke aromas. Once you get past the intensity of the nose, you can smell moderate notes of floral and vanilla. On the tip of the tongue the tequila is mellow and soft and feels heavy in the mouth. While the tequila has no bitterness, it is actually fairly sweet and syrupy. Now onto flavor. The flavor has intense caramel. There is also moderate agave, vanilla, and floral attributes which are followed by mild fruit, smoke, and earth. The tequilas finish is a meduim duration of flavor followed by a numbing alcohol feeling. Overall, I rated this tequila at the A-/B+ level.

A well balanced anejo that is full of wood flavor and still has some good spice an agave flavor still in it. A mild hot aftertaste. Very spicy as anejos go, not as smooth as I had hoped.
