Villa Lobos Reposado Tequila

I must admit I'm not a 'reposado guy' in any event. I love blancos and I enjoy anejos and I generally don't see the need for anything in the middle, but thats just me.
My problem here is that the blanco is one of my 5 star tequilas of all time and just 11 months in a cask later it comes out like this- a rather odd dumbing down of the original agave and pepper highs. It gets weirder- the back taste is a dry cardboard sensation that is almost unpleasant.
Don't get me wrong, the Villa Lobos range is a sensation and I have time and time again tried to love (or even like) this and can't believe that I don't. But I don't....

Beautifully balanced reposado with completely pure flavor and light sublime balance of oak and agave

The NEW Tequila Villa Lobos Repo is rested 6 months in steel tanks then aged 11 months in American oak. The Nose is light, almost a white wine soft delicate aroma. It has slight mint, and some fruit, like apples and peach. It has a delicate floral aroma, and just a pinch of pepper. I could smell faint perfume and a slight citrus (lime) aroma. Taste was a light oil, with fast moving legs, a slight burn only at first, with some light spice, some sweetness and a fruity and smooth mouth feel. There was agave presence but not overwhelming by any means. It has a thin taste,is light and so easy to drink. After a few sips I noticed a slight smoky taste, but just a hint. The Finish was light, with some spice, light smoke and a smooth, balanced tasty medium exit. I like that it is different, not a typical vanilla/caramel overpowering taste. Even the barrel aging seems mild. This is a light beautiful drinking Repo. ENJOY.
