Verdict
A credible Caminitos release. Aniceto García is another maestro in the Caminitos stable, and his Miahuatlán production at 50.7% delivers espadín with the mineral-spine character the village is known for. Caminitos's maestro range is quietly strong – the project works with a stable of Miahuatlán producers and lets each render agave in their own register. No consensus recorded; our read is 4. Keep his name on your list.
