Caminitos Cucharillo

Verdict

Cucharillo almost never gets a solo bottling, which is reason enough for the curious to pay attention. Wilfredo García's is green, resinous, and unapologetically wild, the kind of pour that widens your sense of what the category holds. Track it down if you collect agaves you cannot find twice; this is a vocabulary entry, and a good one.

Tasting notes

Nose: Green herb, wet wood, citrus pith, mineral dust, a resinous edge

Palate: Lean and wild at 51.9%. Cucharillo reads green and resinous, more vegetal than fruity, with a dry mineral grip and real proof behind it

Finish: Long, herbal, drying

The bottom line

Track it down for the agave you cannot find twice
