Verdict
The Brena brothers' standard espadín shows what Matatlán does when producers commit to proof floor, clean, mineral, serious, and well above the commercial-ABV norm. Two reviewers at 3.5 matches our read. A sensible default espadín to keep on the shelf next to Morro or Dixeebe.
Matatlán espadín at 48% is the proof floor espadín wants
Tasting notes
Nose: Green note over cooked agave, melon, wet stone, light smoke
Palate: 48% espadín with the Brena brothers' clean hand, mineral-inflected Matatlán espadín at proper proof
Finish: Mineral, dry, long
The bottom line
A buy as a Matatlán everyday
