Verdict
A credible Durango village cenizo. Temoaya is a specific Durango village whose cenizo profile runs slightly drier than the state average – Cenizo Colonial's bottling at 43% delivers the village's character without commercial flattening. Durango villages matter as distinctly as Oaxacan ones, and Temoaya is a vocabulary pick worth learning. Consensus 4.0 is close; we score 3.5. A solid Durango pick for regional-village drinking.
Durango villages matter too
