My Tasting Notes: The tequila is a yellow golden color with intense floral and
earthy aromas.  A soft mellow entry leads to a sweet taste, with low bitterness and
moderate-to-heavy agave flavor.  While there is moderate-to-heavy agave flavor, the
tequila has moderate earthy and floral flavors with mild fruit, caramel, and smoke.  The
tequila finishes with a long duration of flavor and a numbing alcohol finish.

Other Info: The date stamp on this bottle is 5/26/2006.

4 Copas is one of our sponsors for the Tasting Aficionados and has participated with us
in numerous events.  They were kind enough to donate bottles on numerous occasions
and one of their donations is featured here as their Reposado.

According to the neck tag on the bottle of 4 Copas, "Centuries of tradition and fine
craftsmanship are the essence of this superb spirit, proud ambassador of Mexican
roots and culture.  Cuatro Copas is made of 100% blue agave, the soul of tequila,
which grows in our fields for at least eight years.  Tequila Blanco is bottled after double
distillation, Tequila Reposado is aged in blackened white oak barrels for at least six
months, while Tequila Anejo is aged for at least one year.  

We are proud to bring life to one of the finest tequilas in the world."

In addition to the neck tag, the
4 Copas website provides the following information
about their Reposado:

"You are looking at a smooth tequila. Pure and Natural. The difference between it and
the Blanco is 9 months spent lingering in Blackened American White Oak.

One of the world's Top 5 Spirits of 2006, according to the Editor of Wine & Spirits
Magazine and the only tequila on the list, 4 Copas Reposado's honey & macadamia
characteristics with their oaken accents make it "The Best tequila I've ever tasted!"
everywhere you find tequila critics seeking the next best thing.

Consecutive Gold medals at the San Francisco World Spirit Competition also give it
some clout, but it's purity of spirit is what really makes you 'feel' good at the moment
you savour it and especially the following day. You may catch yourself thinking "I was
drinking tequila last night....I was very happy...why do I feel so great today?"  That's
the 4 Copas way."
