Partida Tequila Blanco

Partida Silver ? NOM 1454 ? Tasted 4/5/07. The tequila is clear in color and has an intense earthy and floral aroma. Once you get past the intensity of the nose, you can smell moderate notes of fruit and spice. On the tip of the tongue the tequila is mellow and soft but yet has a strong agave taste. While the tequila has a low bitterness, it is actually fairly sweet. The flavor has intense agave and earthy attributes which are followed by moderate fruit and floral. Lastly, there are mild flavors of spice. The tequilas finish is a short-to-medium duration of flavor followed by a mildly numbing alcohol feeling. Overall, I rated this tequila at the ?B+? level.
