Typically, a Reposado will, owing to its limited exposure to oak, lean more towards the herbaceous and sometimes underripe fruit end of the flavour spectrum.

As Tequila acquires greater exposure to oak (as in an Añejo or Extra Añejo), its flavour spectrum will smooth out and take on vanilla notes, periodically also displaying baking spice nuances.

It's very much a matter of personal preference as to which of the two incarnations works better for one's taste buds. Personally, I appreciate each for its unique characteristics. A quality Reposado (100% agave derived, naturally) makes for a refreshing, uplifting sort of pour, while an Añejo can often provide great pleasure as a digestif.

The best Reposado I've ever experienced is 4 Copas from Tequilera La Quemada. Currently, I'm in the process of finishing off a bottle of the Sierra Milenario Extra Añejo Reserva Suprema - an ultra-smmoth sipper it is.
