Verdict
The Durango cenizo in the Logia line is the bottle that made us rethink Amaras entirely. It's more structured than anything else in the range, with a sense of place you don't usually get from a brand this distributed. The other bottles drink like product. This one drinks like a place.
Durango doesn't get enough attention. This bottle is why it should
Tasting notes
Nose: Hot hay up front. Dark honey, cracked pepper, a distinct piney menthol underneath
Palate: Weightier than the Oaxaca-side Amaras bottles, with the cenizo's characteristic herbal sharpness and a buttery mid-palate that catches you off-guard
Finish: Warming, mineral
The bottom line
The sleeper pick in Amaras' catalog. Worth tracking down
