Verdict
A solid named-maestro espadín. Sergio Cruz Martínez's standard bottling at 48.9% is the entry to his Caminitos range – same producer as the 75.2% puntas, different format, different expression. The standard-proof work shows the maestro's production discipline without the specialist-only intensity of the puntas; both bottles reward drinking across the range. The community agrees. A respectable Caminitos entry.
Not every Caminitos is 75% – the standard bottlings are strong
Tasting notes
Nose: Warm stone, cooked agave, green herb
Palate: Dense and clean, the maestro's production discipline legible

The bottom line
A respectable Caminitos entry
