Sanzekan Cupreata - Silvestre
Silvestre's papalote – 47.3% and quietly excellent
Score: 4.0/5 agaves

- ABV: 47.3%
- Price: $150 ($$)
Verdict
Silvestre González García's cupreata is the one in the Sanzekán catalog that splits the difference, less muscular than Faustino's, more structured than Romelio's. This is the cupreata to introduce someone to the category with. Consensus 4.0 lands cleanly.
A papalote whose restraint is the point
Tasting notes
Nose: Green pepper with cooked agave, jasmine top note
Palate: 47.3% sits between Emiliano's and the 50% bottlings, a pocket that suits Silvestre González García's lighter touch. Clean mid-palate, long green finish
Finish: Cool, herbal, long
