Tequila Anejo 100% Agave
Antigua Cruz Anejo Tequila
Review
87
Pale amber color. Strong aromas of leather, vanilla, lemon, and pineapple. Restrained and silky at first on the palate, then opens slowly with warm heat, some cooked agave and herbal flavors, along with grassy notes. Then a wave of acidity turns the heat nicely prickly. A heavy oak structure yields faint bourbon notes. Some lip puckering tannins at the end. Fairly long finish. An oak forward anejo with the fruit in the background. Tasted 12/16/2007.
Notes
It is elaborated 100% of pure agave and aged in oak barrels during eighteen months; amber color and excellent buqué, proud of its artisan origin, shows it to the world through its hand elaborated bottle made by mexican craftsmen. More than a relic, it is a delight. Majestically raised, and showing its integrity conserved for more than one hundred and fifty years, we can appreciate in his logo the famous “Chacuaco“ of the tavern de la Cruz, historical relic of the religion of Tequila.
