Cómplice Tepeztate Jabalí Tobalá

Verdict

Three wild agaves in one bottle is an ambitious choice and Cómplice nearly carries it – but at 46% the jabalí and tepeztate get edged out by the tobalá's easy charm. Pour this alongside the brand's single-varietal tepeztate; the comparison tells you why single-varietals usually win. Good argument, incomplete proof of concept.

Tasting notes

Nose: Green pepper, then melon rind, a lactic whisper, honey

Palate: 46% is a shade light for this trio – tepeztate and jabalí want more room, and the tobalá's sweetness fills gaps the proof can't

Finish: Herbal, faintly sweet – medium-long

The bottom line

Interesting exercise; buy the single-varietals instead
