Verdict

Paula's work in the NETA catalog deserves more attention than it often gets, her bicuishe is lifted where Celso's is sharp, floral where Hermógenes' is mineral. Five reviewers at 4.0 matches our read. Different hand, different agave conclusion, same Miahuatlán ground. A bottle for karwinskii fans who want the agave's quieter side.

Paula Aquino Sánchez proves karwinskii can read as elegance

Tasting notes

Nose: Dry wildflower, then lime peel, wet stone, faint citrus blossom

Palate: 45.9% bicuishe with a lighter, more floral signature than the Hermógenes or Celso versions, karwinskii read as restraint rather than weight

Finish: Floral, mineral, long

The bottom line

Buy. The softer side of karwinskii, done right
