Verdict
The best ensambles pair agaves that speak different dialects and trust them to stay in character; Lalocura's tobalá-tobaziche is that argument rendered in glass. Tobalá's floral-mineral aromatic meets tobaziche's vegetal-herbal spine and neither agave gives ground. A bottle that teaches what the ensamble format can do when the producer picks the right two voices.
A conversation between two wild agaves that speak different dialects
Tasting notes
Nose: Wildflower with mineral damp
Palate: The tobalá's floral character sits on top of the tobasiche's herbal spine. 47.54% is appropriate
Finish: Floral, drying – very long
The bottom line
The pick for a category-broadening flight
