Verdict
A Lalocura release that doesn't overshoot. San martinero and tobasiche are both karwinskii-family cousins; pairing them is a family-reunion composition where shared register makes the ensamble easy to hold together. At 48.18% Lalo Ángeles's clay-still production delivers the two agaves cleanly, and the bottle hits as disciplined rather than ambitious. Community consensus aligns. A quiet Lalocura at honest production.
Family pairings are the easiest ensambles to get right
Tasting notes
Nose: Green pepper, then dry hay, warm earth, mineral
Palate: Lean and herbal at 48.18% – the two agaves share a register that reads coherent
Finish: Cooling, drying. Stays very long
The bottom line
A disciplined ensamble
