Verdict

Lamata Bicuishe is an argument for Lamata as a serious curatorial brand – Jarquín's hand shows, the proof is correct, and the agave's character is alive. Cuish's bicuishe benchmark is close; Lamata is at comparable depth and more available. Our 4.0 matches the community's read.

Jarquín's bicuishe is karwinskii done right – proof, place, person

Tasting notes

Nose: Green herb with fennel

Palate: Sharp and mineral at 48.2%. Sozimo Jarquín is among the serious Oaxacan maestros working today; his bicuishe has the nervy karwinskii-green character intact and the proof to carry it

Finish: Green-iron-tinged, cool fade. Long

The bottom line

Comparable depth to Cuish, easier to find. Jarquín's karwinskii at correct proof
