Verdict
Eduardo "Lalo" Ángeles, yes, the Lalocura Lalo – quietly bottles under Sacapalabras at 50% across the line, which is the proof declaration the catalog deserves. The cuishe is clean and upright, a Lalocura-adjacent bottle at a lower markup. No consensus yet; reading at 4.0. Serious pour.
Cuishe at 50 is cuishe without the apology clause
Tasting notes
Nose: Wet stone, then saline breeze, faint green herb, crushed mint
Palate: 50% is where karwinskii gets interesting; cuishe's mineral-saline register reads with clarity and cut, no padding
Finish: Cool, saline, long
The bottom line
Buy if Lalocura is out of reach or out of stock
