Del Maguey Santo Domingo Albarradas

Verdict

Santo Domingo Albarradas is one of those Del Maguey bottles where the single-village concept actually pays – Espiridion Morales Luis' work at 48% reads specific and proofed. Buy it in place of Las Milpas or Rio Minas if you want the village story at its sharpest. Del Maguey's catalog is uneven; this is one of the steady points.

Tasting notes

Nose: Cooked agave, then clean smoke, lime peel

Palate: 48% Santo Domingo espadín from Espiridion Morales Luis, cleaner and brighter than the San Dionisio bottles, with a mineral lift

Finish: Dry, faintly peppery

The bottom line

A consistent village pick; one of Del Maguey's better espadíns
