Verdict
Revelador's tobalá sits in the short list of reference-grade single-tobalá bottlings, alongside Real Minero and Lalocura. Don Goyo's decades of work are in every part of the sip, and the 48% is the proof where tobalá earns its complexity without strain. Banhez Tobalá is the gateway; this is the deep-cut. Buy it if you find it.
