Verdict
A strong Creador ensamble. Mexicano-espadín at 48.2% is a balanced two-agave format, the mexicano's vegetal character rides on the espadín's structural spine, and the Mixtepec production discipline keeps both legible. A sensible Creador two-agave blend that demonstrates the producer's ensamble judgment without overreaching on agave count. Community average matches. Solid.
