Verdict
Jorge Vasquez Aquino's bicuishe for NETA is a careful, correct expression of the agave. Single-maestro bottlings are NETA's value proposition, and releases from less-heralded maestros are often where the range's best discoveries live; bicuishe at 47.6% from Vasquez Aquino's hand delivers the karwinskii family's vegetal-mineral register cleanly, without the showmanship some of NETA's flagship maestros bring. Consensus matches. A solid mid-range NETA for drinkers who've learned to read the maestro names on NETA labels.
