Verdict
A strong Cinco Elementos. San Lorenzo Albarradas is a category-vocabulary village – less distributed than Matatlán or San Luis del Rio, but with its own regional production traditions that reward attention. Cinco Elementos's espadín at 48% delivers the village's disciplined, mineral-forward signature cleanly. The producer's wild-agave range is strong, and the village espadín is the entry that argues for the whole line. Community average matches. Track it down.
