Verdict
Celso García Cruz's espadín is a clean educational bottle, not the most ambitious thing in the catalog, but the kind of baseline you want to calibrate your palate against. One reviewer at 4.0; we match. If you're learning NETA's maestros, the espadín and bicuishe pair from Celso is a good weekend's study. Better than any commercial espadín you can name.
Celso's espadín is the bottle that turns Banhez drinkers into NETA drinkers
