Verdict
Lamata Verde Durango is a solid-if-unspectacular verde – the production is clean, the agave character legible, the proof correct. La Remilgosa's verde outworks it by volume; this one by refinement. Consensus 3.9; we rate 3.5.
The Simentals' verde is the polite version of a notoriously impolite agave
Tasting notes
Nose: Green herb, then wet stone, cooked fiber
Palate: Cool and mineral at 48%. The Simentals' verde is consistent with their lamparillo work – clean, correct, a touch understated. La Remilgosa's verde at 51% runs deeper; this one is gentler
Finish: Green, cool close
The bottom line
Fine. La Remilgosa for louder verde
