Verdict
A legitimate ensamble. The espadín-lumbre proportions on this bottle swap the 'de Calidad' balance – here the espadín dominates, where 'de Calidad' weights the lumbre more heavily. Proportion matters in ensambles: same agaves, different weights, legibly different bottles. At 48.3% both versions hold together but deliver different stories. Consensus 4.0 is close. Fine for drinkers tasting across the Creador range.
