The call
The scores tie at 3.0, so price decides it: Los Vecinos del Campo Espadin costs less and gets the nod.
Del Maguey VIDA Clásico
Underrated as a category workhorse. Overrated as a sipper
Nose: Campfire smoke up front, green banana, a little acetone on a warm pour
Palate: Bright, a touch thin, with sweet agave under the smoke. Less refined than the rest of the Del Maguey range
Finish: Peppery, clean – short

Los Vecinos del Campo Espadin
Average in a category where average is enough
Nose: Opens on cooked agave. Cane sugar, light smoke, orange peel underneath
Palate: 45% is the proof the tier is supposed to deliver and the bottle meets it – clean, mid-weight, cooperative. Nothing is going wrong; nothing is going distinctively right either
Finish: Clean, lightly sweet – medium
