The nose has a little bit of caramel and oak, but as with the blanco, I get some sourness. Initial taste is more caramel and oak - fairly sweet. The sourness fades, but it's still a little tart. Body is light-to-medium..ish, but no coating or oiliness to speak of. The finish is smoother than the blanco, but rather muted - caramel and raw agave stick around.
The reposado was more enjoyable than the blanco with the caramel flavor, but still not a contender in the premium market. Frankly, it is over-priced and really doesn't belong in the premium price group. I purchased the flight of stacked 375ml bottles, which is clever. I have also seen the individual 750ml bottles in the store - attractive, but not anything special or unique. Note that in the stacked set, the bottom two are the aged products, and the spout is very short and difficult to pour from, and they have a very small natural cork.
