Verdict
The bicuishe-jabalí ensambles from Celso and Wilfredo earn higher marks because jabalí rewards karwinskii-family partners, with espadín, the result is friendlier but less distinctive. Four reviewers at 3.6 is fair. Buy it as a gentler door into jabalí than the 48.5%-50.6% bicuishe pairings.
Espadín is the pairing that makes jabalí legible
Tasting notes
Nose: Cooked agave, then wild musk, warm herb, faint citrus
Palate: 48.1% ensamble where the espadín sweetness moderates the jabalí's wild-funk register, approachable for a jabalí-inflected ensamble, still recognizably odd
Finish: Herbal, drying – long
The bottom line
Buy as a jabalí starter
