Verdict
Two-agave ensambles hide nothing – every blending decision is visible. Lalocura's tobaziche-espadín at 49% lets the tobaziche ride on the espadín's spine instead of fighting for room, which is the part that sounds easy and almost never is. A quieter Lalocura, and one of the better shelf-price entries into the range.
Two-agave ensambles often outperform four-agave ones
Tasting notes
Nose: Green pepper with pine, faint smoke
Palate: Lean and focused. At 49%, the espadín adds sweetness without dulling the tobasiche
Finish: Drying, cooling
The bottom line
A legitimate Lalocura at a reasonable shelf price
