Verdict
A madrecuishe that actually commits to the proof the agave needs – García Salvador's hand keeps the karwinskii density clear without tipping into heaviness. The chronic category undersell on madrecuishe doesn't happen here, which is why the bottle sits as a producer arguing for the agave rather than commercial compromise. Buy it; this is what a maestra's madrecuishe should sound like.
A solid single-palenque madrecuishe
Tasting notes
Nose: Dark honey, hot slate, warm earth and a faint leather undertone
Palate: Dense at 47.59% – madrecuishe's weight carried cleanly with the proof providing adequate support
Finish: Drying, warm, with a slow earth fade. Very long
