| Ocho Plata - Las Pomez 2009 - Bottle 11,641 |
Tequila Joe's Collection |
My Tasting Notes: n/a
Info on the Back of the Bottle: Las Pomez is located 2,055 meters above sea
level and named for the town nearby. It is approximately 7 hectares with 20,336
agave plants. As one of the highest elevation estates it has high temps at 24.8C and
lows at 9.1C making for extremely high sugar content in the agave plant.
Nose: sweet molasses, butterscotch and ripe agave. It opens up to cooked pumpkin
and hints of peppermint.
Palate: Fresh, lively, round sweetness, subtle tropical fruits, and some cinnamon.
Other Info: The date stamp on the bottle is 11/18/08.
This bottles neck tag provide some addition information about the Ocho brand:
"Ocho represents a new way of thinking about tequila.
Ocho is a departure from the concept of distilling because it will deliver "complexity of
character." It will do this by featuring single estate tequilas introduced in annual
vintages showcasing agave flavors from differing altitudes and micro climates.
What does this mean?
It means that Ocho will demonstrate that there exists "terroir" in agaves the same
way the wine industry has demonstrated that "terroir" exists in grapes. "Terroir" is, of
course, the centuries-old belief that grapes draw their "character" from the soil, sun
and temperature in which they are grown. A single estate is a single piece of land that
is affected by its own micro climate. Each single estate will therefore deliver a different
character of tequila and it is Ocho that will be the first to demonstrate this in the
tequila category making it rare and collectible.
The Ocho website provide some incite into this particular estate:
