Verdict
A legitimate Durango. Hacienda Dolores sits in a quieter Cenizo Colonial register than the Temoaya bottling – the village's cenizo at 41% sits at the structural proof floor where the agave's northern pine-hay register comes through but attenuated. The producer keeps consistent; the proof choice determines the bottle's ceiling. Community average matches. The Temoaya version is the better Cenizo Colonial.
Cenizo at 41% is close to the edge
Tasting notes
Nose: Pine, dry hay, warm stone
Palate: Lean at 41% – cenizo's character at the proof floor
Finish: Cooling
The bottom line
The Temoaya version is the better Cenizo Colonial
