Verdict
Capón harvest on espadín is the kind of producer choice that doesn't advertise itself on the front label but shows up in the glass. Juan Antonio Coronel's version has more depth than the brand's standard espadín, and for anyone curious about what mature-plant harvest actually does, this is a legible comparison bottle. Worth a pour alongside the ensamble.
Capón espadín is the answer to 'is espadín worth it.'
Tasting notes
Nose: Cooked agave, honey, wildflower, wet stone
Palate: Denser than the house's standard espadín at 44%, with the capón harvest adding sweetness and weight – the difference is legible
Finish: Clean, mineral. Stays long
The bottom line
Track it. Capón espadín with the plant's full weight
