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
