Score: 4.0/5 agaves

- Price: $150 ($$$$)
Verdict
If you know Michoacán only through cupreata, Jorge Pérez's Alto is the next chapter. Altitude-grown inaequidens shows it in the glass, stern and resinous, mineral before floral. Mezonte's bottling respects the producer and prints batch detail on the label. For a 47% small-release Michoacán, this is closer to Real Minero territory than to anything on a restaurant list.
Jorge Pérez's Alto is Michoacán's answer to the madrecuishe crowd
Tasting notes
Nose: Wild mint, warm stone, tamarind, a resinous pine undernote
Palate: Inaequidens at 47% is dense and herbal, the high-altitude Michoacán signature, bitter greens and mineral salt carrying a lot of structure
Finish: Drying, herbal-slate-tinged
The bottom line
Worth owning to understand why Michoacán matters
