Convite Tepextate

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. Mid-premium is where it belongs.

Tasting notes

Nose: Wildflower, wet stone, white pepper

Palate: Tepextate's lift intact; aromatic at 46%

Finish: Cooling, drying. Stays very long

The bottom line

Respectable tepextate short of the reference tier
