Tasting notes

Nose: Wet stone. Then cooked agave, green pepper, dried flowers, hay

Palate: 48-50% refrescador, four agaves held in clear relation. Tepextate's herbal lift rides on top; madrecuishe and bicuishe share the mineral mid; espadín grounds the body

Finish: Layered, river rock, very long

The bottom line

Chase it down. Ramos's widescreen ensamble
