Score: 4.0/5 agaves

Cinco Sentidos Papalote - Sonido bottle

  • Region: Chilapa de Álvarez, Guerrero
  • Agave: Papalote
  • ABV: 48.8%
  • Price: $70 ($)

Verdict

Three consensus reviews at 4.0 aligns. Sonido is another of the less-discussed Guerrero producers 5 Sentidos has brought into view; the bottle is a legitimate reference. Compared with Robledo's 50.3% version, slightly softer; compared with Sánchez's 47.2%, a hair more energetic.

Papalote at 48%+ stops apologizing

Tasting notes

Nose: Wildflower, cooked agave, wet stone

Palate: At 48.8% the aromatics fully extend and Sonido's copper rig keeps the liquid clean – a straight-ahead Guerrero papalote done at the right ABV

Finish: Long, floral, mineral

The bottom line

Worth owning. A dependable Guerrero papalote at working proof
