Cinco Sentidos Ancho

Guerrero ancho – arroqueño's savage northern cousin, Xochipala-made

Score: 4.0/5 agaves

Cinco Sentidos Ancho bottle
  • Producer: 5 Sentidos
  • Region: Xochipala, Guerrero
  • Agave: Ancho
  • ABV: 46.8%
  • Price: $70 ($)

Verdict

Five consensus reviews at 4.0 aligns with our read. 5 Sentidos' Guerrero line continues to reveal unfamiliar agaves and ancho is a good example, if you like Lalocura or 5 Sentidos arroqueño, this is the next logical bottle. Compared with a Mal Bien ancho or arroqueño, this reads drier.

Ancho is arroqueño with a Guerrero accent

Tasting notes

Nose: Cooked agave, dark fruit, dry pepper, wet earth

Palate: Ancho is closely related to arroqueño and shares its savory density; at 46.8% the Xochipala version runs slightly drier and more structural than Oaxacan arroqueño – Guerrero's particular signature prints clearly

Finish: Warm, earthy, long

The bottom line

Worth owning. A Guerrero americana worth tasting
