With a light straw golden color, Centinela reposado completes my tasting of a line I consider to be consistent, tasty, and an excellent value. A very good reposado. I just can't say anything bad about Centinela.
Aroma: Agave, spice, and slight fruit.
Initial Taste: A semi oily mouth feel, its sweet with no bitterness, with an initial taste of citrus/cinnamon.
Body: A very nice body full of agave, cinnamon, citrus, and spices.
Finish: A nice semi heated finish of medium duration, and a lingering of spices.
Centinela is just one solid line.
Tequila Centinela Reposado, NOM 1140. At one time, this tequila was more readily available. After a long, dry period of unavailability, I was fortunate to find a bottle on a recent visit to Taos, NM. Centinela Reposado has a pale, light yellow color. It has a nice aged character of caramel & oak & is much deeper in taste than many other repopsados. This is quite evident through the entire tasting experience & is actually more pronounced at the end rather than at the beginning. A wonderful sweetness carries all the way through the long finish, ending in a bouquet of caramel & fruit. This spirit is quite smooth, a consistent attribute I've found from one bottle to the next. If you should happen to find Centinela Reposado, don't hesitate to purchase it. You won't be disappointed!
