Verdict

Four agaves is a crowded brief, and Florencio García Vásquez writes each voice a part. No consensus data yet, but our read places this firmly in the NETA recommended tier – less dramatic than the single-agave tepextates but more sophisticated in arrangement. A bottle for drinkers who want to hear the NETA catalog's range in one pour.

Florencio writes an ensamble like a composer who trusts every section

Tasting notes

Nose: Cooked pineapple, lime blossom, dry herb, faint stone

Palate: 47.4% tequilana-bicuishe-espadin with cucharillo in the roster – the tequilana softens, the bicuishe sharpens, the espadín ties it together. Complex, legible

Finish: Savory, slightly sweet. Long

The bottom line
