My Tasting Notes: I tasted this 9 month aged tequila at a friend's house in a Riedel
glass. Each bottle is numbered and comes in a rustic wooden box with a custom bottle
stopper. While the bottle comes with the custom bottle stopper, I would not
recommend using it. The stopper does not properly seal the bottle and, thus, I would
not recommend using it for anything other than short term use. The tequila is a pale
yellow golden color and has intense aromas of floral and moderate to intense fruit.
Less apparent aromas include moderate earth and mild spice. Initial aspects of the
tequila are a thin to medium mouth feel that provides a mellow and soft sensation on
the tip of the tongue. Upon first taste, the tequila has a minimal hint of bitterness and
a low level of sweetness. Flavors of Querido Viejo Reposado include moderate to
intense floral followed by mild to moderate agave and earth. Finishing with mild fruit
and hints of wood and spice, this tequila experience comes to an end with a medium to
short duration of flavor and a numbing alcohol intensity. In my opinion, this tequila is a
little too watery for me and seemed to lose flavor too quickly. However, some of the
other people at the house did enjoy it a lot. I guess this is a perfect example of
different preferences and tastes for different people.

Other Info: I first saw these bottles at the 2007 Las Vegas Tequila Fest and in the
beginning of 2008 I began to see them in stores. Shortly after the show, QV became
one of the Tasting Aficionados sponsors and we have since done numerous events
together.
