Verdict
A strong madrecuishe from a producer worth paying attention to. Sánchez-Lucas's palenque delivers the karwinskii density at 49.2% with clean production throughout – the proof sits where madrecuishe actually wants to be, and the agave's honey-slate-earth register reads without commercial smoothing. Amateco's single-palenque releases consistently clear the specialty tier bar at prices that haven't fully caught up to the quality. Reviewer
Amateco's madrecuishe work is quietly category-serious
Tasting notes
Nose: Dark honey with warm earth
Palate: Textured and mineral at 49.2% – Amateco's single-palenque discipline visible
Finish: Drying, warm – very long
