Cuish Tepeztate - Paula Aquino Sánchez

Verdict

Paula Aquino Sánchez is another named maestra Cuish is surfacing, and the Miahuatlán tepeztate under her hand runs floral where most tepeztates run vegetal. Buy alongside the Berta Vasquez or the Serafín tepeztates for a three-maestra flight on the same agave. Cuish's catalog is the best tepeztate university American shelves can offer.

Tasting notes

Nose: Herbaceous peak, cooked stone fruit, wet clay, green pepper

Palate: Paula Aquino Sánchez's Miahuatlán work reads cleaner and more floral than the eastern tepeztates, the marmorata sings without the usual bitter edge

Finish: Herbal, lifted

The bottom line

A tepeztate in a softer register; buy for the flight
