Verdict
A madrecuishe with a floral grace note – rare and worth tracking. Victor Ramos adds the tobalá lightly enough that the madrecuishe's architecture holds; at 49% refrescador the density is substantial. Buy as another argument for the Ramos lineup.

Tasting notes
Nose: Wet stone with honey, cucumber
Palate: 49% refrescador; the madrecuishe's karwinskii register meets a small tobalá component, which adds floral lift without breaking the mineral spine. Victor Ramos characteristically doesn't over-intervene
Finish: Mineral, faintly floral
The bottom line
Buy. Madrecuishe with a twist
