Pescador de Sueños Mexicano Amarillo

Verdict

Mexicano (rhodacantha) is the quieter of the two plants in this ensamble, but Leoncio Santiago writes it loud. The amarillo adds color without doing the usual pretty-pretty trick. What you get is a bottle that reads balanced on first sip and structured on the second – a rare combination in the ensamble category, which often splits the difference and lands nowhere. Track it alongside Rey Campero's ensamble work.

Tasting notes

Nose: Yellow stone fruit up front. Fresh cut grass, a light rubber note underneath

Palate: Floral but not pretty – there's grip here. 50% gives the mexicano enough room to show its wild-agave structure, while the amarillo fills the fruit register. Balanced without being polished

Finish: Floral, clean – medium

The bottom line

A real ensamble, not a marketing cocktail. Buy it
