Verdict
Consensus at 4.4 matches our read. This is the Jolgorio that lives up to the marketing – a bottle that rewards pouring, reflecting, and pouring again. If budget allows, buy it over the Del Maguey equivalent.
The Jolgorio tobalá is the easiest bottle to recommend in the range
Tasting notes
Nose: Wildflower with bright citrus, hot stone
Palate: Densely aromatic, clean, with more weight than Del Maguey's tobalá delivers at its price point
Finish: Floral, mineral – very long
