Verdict
Por Lo Bueno's cuishe is the brand's working cuishe, competent across the board, nothing that makes you recoil, nothing that makes you reach. The producer's cirial is the memorable bottle; the cuishe is the daily. Fair price and honest execution. We'd place it just below Banhez's karwinskii work for value.
Entry-tier karwinskii done without an entry-tier attitude
Tasting notes
Nose: Apple skin, wet flint, faint vanilla
Palate: Mineral and dry, 47% is the minimum a cuishe should hold and this one holds it cleanly. Apple-and-stone signature through the middle. Less ambition than the Por Lo Bueno cirial, still honest work
Finish: Stony, clean
The bottom line
Buy it as a daily karwinskii. Keep the cirial for Sundays
