Casa Noble Tequila Anejo

Rich, smooth, full bodied tequila with an outstanding aroma, tremendous flavor and very easy to drink. Could be a dessert drink.

Aroma - Strong notes of vanilla with real hints of chocolate.
Initial Taste - Again, vanilla, chocolate, a slight sweetness and a secondary burn.
Body- Very slow tears with a coloring of a fine French cognac.
Finish - Refined sweetness with a lingering taste of chocolate.
Enjoyability - Okay, this one is for the record books. For the price, you have a tequila that is up there with the taste, finish, and enjoyability of the best of the best. The mat purple bottle still seems weird to me.... however, I am surprised at how closely this tequila comes in matching the 5 year single barrel Casa Noble. If the 5 year is an out of the park home run, then this one is sliding into the home plate with plenty of time of time to spare.

Aroma is agave, vanilla, wood, and alcohol.

Taste is earth, agave, oak. Matches aroma. Medium body with slight oiliness.

Finish is long with nice lingering alcohol and agave. Slight heat, but a good heat.

Price was 6.99 for shot served in snifter.

Outstanding

Tasted in a Riedel glass on 12/18/13. It was a gift for my birthday, but you can buy it in this area for $49. I love this tequila. It has a strong taste of caramel and vanilla with a darker straw/brown color. It's smooth and is an excellent sipper. It has very little after burn and the taste continues to delight long after you're finished. I'll stick to the cheaper blancos and reposados for margaritas. This will have a special place in my pantry for special occasions but I'm going to have to buy more of it, because I can't keep from having a little taste a couple times each week. The price could be better or it could be worse. It is what it is--a little slice of heaven.
