Verdict

Felipe de Jesús Cortés builds an ensamble where each agave has a clear role – bicuishe provides the spine, mexicano provides the music. At 47.9% both voices are audible, and the Mezcalosfera single-lot treatment ensures the maestro's fingerprint stays visible. A strong release; hunt when found.

Two-agave ensambles are the hardest to make sing. This one sings

Tasting notes

Nose: Wildflower, then green herb, wet stone

Palate: 47.9% with bicuishe's dry structure anchoring and mexicano's round, aromatic character filling in the mid-palate – a well-balanced two-wild ensamble

Finish: Floral, mineral – long

The bottom line

Hunt it. Clean two-wild ensamble
