Verdict
Consensus puts this at 4.8, and we round up. This is Berta Vásquez's ensamble at the full summit of the method – 48.8% where tepextate earns its air, mexicano anchors, espadín grounds, and her fermentation does the work the proof doesn't have to. Alongside the best Real Minero ensambles for caliber. If someone asks for one Rezpiral bottle to explain the line, it's this.
The bottle that ends the Berta-Vásquez-vs-everyone debate
Tasting notes
Nose: Orchid with warm stone, cooked agave, wildflower
Palate: Tepextate's floral reach lifting the mexicano and espadín base. Berta Vásquez's tahona-milled, cypress-fermented, double-distilled method at peak concentration; layered and aromatic at 48.8%
Finish: Floral, mineral. Very long
The bottom line
Take it when you see it. This is the Rezpiral bottle
