Verdict
This is the Nuestra Soledad to buy if you want to understand why Lachigui matters. The village is where El Jolgorio's wild-agave program is anchored; drinking Lachigui espadín at Nuestra Soledad's price is a way to taste the village's signature without the Jolgorio markup. At 49% Pedro Vasquez's palenque character reads clearly – denser, more aromatic than the rest of the Nuestra Soledad range. Consensus 3.9 reads fair but we push slightly higher. A sleeper pick.
