Verdict

Tomás García Cruz's espadín offers a direct comparison with Celso's, and the difference is the entire point of the NETA catalog – same Miahuatlán ground, different hand, different result. Two reviewers at 3.8; we agree. Denser than Celso's, not necessarily better; a taste question. Build the flight.

Same town, same species, different maestro – this is the project

Tasting notes

Nose: Green melon, warm stone, faint lime, light smoke

Palate: 48% espadín with a denser, slightly more savory profile than Celso's – same Miahuatlán ground, different hand

Finish: Savory, mineral – long

The bottom line

The pick for the A/B with Celso's espadín
