Verdict

Karwinskii-and-marmorata ensambles are where Miahuatlán tells its richest story. Emanuel Ramos's version is well-built but a half-step behind Santos's three-agave release above. Buy if you're completing a Ramos run; pick the Santos three-way first.

Tasting notes

Nose: Wet stone with dried flowers, cooked agave

Palate: Madrecuishe and bicuishe carry the mineral base; tepextate adds aromatic lift. 48.4% refrescador holds everything in proportion

Finish: Herbal, river rock – long

The bottom line

Buy after the Santos three-way
