Verdict
Emigdio Jarquín's cuishe is the bottle you serve someone who thinks karwinskii is a spelling variant. At 50% the plant's structural austerity reads fully, and the Miahuatlán terroir gives it the mineral anchor it needs. Alongside Vago's Emigdio madrecuishe, this is the argument for the karwinskii family.
Karwinskii at 50% is karwinskii finally getting its voice
Tasting notes
Nose: Green pepper, wet rope, cooked agave, mineral
Palate: Lean and dry at 50%, with the karwinskii backbone sharp and the Miahuatlán stone pull running under it
Finish: Drying, slate-tinged. Very long
The bottom line
Track it. Karwinskii at the proof it deserves
