Verdict
A strong Minas jabalí. Clay-still jabalí at 51.9% is a specialist's bottle, jabalí already demands production discipline, and Minas clay-still production adds textural weight the agave rewards. Comunidad No. 11 sits alongside Rey Campero's clay-still jabalí and Real Minero's jabalí releases as the category's clay-still benchmark-level. No consensus; we score it 4. Track it down.
