Verdict
Juan Hernández produces tobaziches with a clarity that most producers don't manage, and this is the bottle to reach for if you want tobaziche as an argument rather than an ingredient. Reach for this over the other named-maestro tobaziche below it in this batch; the precision is higher here.
Hernández's tobaziche is the karwinskii-head's karwinskii
Tasting notes
Nose: Wet stone, green pepper, saline
Palate: 49% of tobaziche with Hernández's hand keeping the karwinskii register uncompromised – saline-mineral on the entry, vegetal in the middle, dry on the finish
Finish: Wet slate, dry – long
The bottom line
A buy. Our pick among the single-maestro tobaziches in this label
