Verdict

A strong Creador ensamble. Tepextate-mexicano at 48.8% pairs two wild agaves with complementary registers – tepextate's floral-mineral lift over mexicano's vegetal-structural base. The pairing is natural because the agaves sit in different families and deliver different contributions; Creador's Mixtepec production keeps both legible. Community average matches.
