Aged for just 2 minimalist months in ex-bourbon barrels, Amatiteña Reposado trades in the bold power, passion, and pride of the blanco expressions for an easy—even laid-back—character, offering a crowd pleaser that only whispers at the wildness it sprang from. Refreshing and uncomplicated, yet with enough grace and nuance to remain endlessly engaging, this reposado balances herbs and fruit and pastry with aplomb. Aromas of subtle butterscotch, fresh brick powder, light resin, and green pea shoots transition to a palate that explodes with sweet roasted carrot, raspberry sherbet, soft baking spices, wet tile, faint orange rind, honeydew, and a finish of crème brûlée and golden beets. Deliriously easy to drink.
