Verdict
Legendario Domingo Cupreata is an odd entry in the brand's catalog – Guerrero cupreata is usually handled better by Guerrero specialists (Rey Campero, Dixeebe, Mezcalosfera), and the Durango-house approach doesn't add a clear angle. Consensus 3.6; we agree.
Cupreata from a Durango specialist is a detour without a destination
Tasting notes
Nose: Cooked cupreata up front. Floral, mineral, a vegetal green underneath
Palate: Dense and a touch out-of-frame at 50%. Legendario Domingo's core competency is Durango; the cupreata detour lands as technically clean but lacking the regional conviction the brand shows on its northern bottles
Finish: Floral-flinty, cool close
The bottom line
Pass. Rey Campero's cupreata outworks this
