Verdict

Family-karwinskii ensambles tend to work because the siblings speak the same language; Primitivo Vásquez's madrecuishe-bicuishe is that argument rendered with enough discipline that the two agaves share a bottle without either getting redundant. Madrecuishe brings weight, bicuishe brings lift. A clean NETA from the importer's most reliable maestro.

NETA's karwinskii ensambles reward attention

Tasting notes

Nose: Dark honey, then green pepper, hot slate

Palate: Layered and mineral, the madrecuishe carries the weight; the bicuishe adds aromatic lift

Finish: Drying, cooling, very long

The bottom line

A strong NETA ensamble
