Raided Score: 86
Publication: Tequila Raiders
Excerpt: Sweet on the palate, but not cloying. Lots of nice toffee, apple, honey, agave and pepper. Fresh sourdough crust, faint earthiness. Coats the palate nicely. Excellent flavor. I really like this. I'm hesitant on most Repo/Anejo because I typically enjoy the base spirit too much, but this is deserving of no doubt. A really nice blend of agave character and some barrel influence. Big fan.

Publication: Distiller
Excerpt: The aroma lures you in with notes such as roasted pears, vanilla, toast, and citrus zest. Moderately tannic, medium bodied, fresh and lush with tons of agave sweetness. This is a VERY impressive offering that helps lift the reposado category out of the margins.

House Review

Intro:
Distilled by Fortaleza and aged for 18 months in American Oak, Fortaleza Reposado is a well aged tequila. This is Lot 69 (nice). Let's get to it.
Nose:
Rich and roasty, full of flavor. Honey, tobacco, robust agave sweetness, some caramel and honey. Faint oak, some cinnamon. Wholly pleasant.
Taste:
Sweet on the palate, but not cloying. Lots of nice toffee, apple, honey, agave and pepper. Fresh sourdough crust, faint earthiness. Coats the palate nicely. Excellent flavor.
Finish:
Long, sweet and rich. Lots going on here, with plenty of barrel influence shining through, without obfuscating the agave character.
Overall:
I really like this. I'm hesitant on most Repo/Anejo because I typically enjoy the base spirit too much, but this is deserving of no doubt. A really nice blend of agave character and some barrel influence. Big fan.
