Verdict
A credible Convite wild. Tepextate at 46% sits at the proof floor where the agave's 25-year character can register structurally; Convite's production delivers the floral-mineral signature cleanly without pushing into reference territory. Not at the Jolgorio or Real Minero tepextate caliber, but a respectable mid-premium bottle from a producer whose wild-agave range consistently clears the specialty tier. No consensus; we score it 3.5. Fine.
A respectable mid-tier tepextate
