Verdict
Legendario Domingo Ensamble is a competent if not revelatory blend – Pérez's cut is clean, the three agaves are credible choices, but the integration doesn't rise to the brand's best single-agave releases. Consensus 3.5; we agree.
A serviceable ensamble that doesn't quite reach the brand's single-agave work
Tasting notes
Nose: Mesquite, then green herb, cooked fiber, a mineral damp
Palate: Middle-weight and integrated at 47%. The three-agave ensamble runs a shade muddy – the individual voices don't hold as clearly as Jarquín's or Parejo's three-way blends – but the production is technically clean
Finish: Mesquite, cool close – medium-long
The bottom line
Fine. Buy the cenizo or San Luis Potosí instead
