Lalocura Rainy Season Tobasiche-Espadín

Verdict

Lalo Ángeles bottles what the harvest actually produced instead of engineering a house style that erases the year. Rainy-season agave reads less sugar-concentrated, more herbal; most producers normalize that out, Lalocura leaves it in. The category is better for the argument. A Lalocura for drinkers who already understand what Lalocura is.
