  • Intro:

    Distilled by Aquilano Garcia using Tepextate, this bottling by Vago is pretty near to many folks since the maestro’s passing. Let’s give it a taste.

  • Nose:

    Beautiful Tepextate pop of aroma - string beans, cabbage, beet and cocktail onion. Lovely soil, slate note for balance, some crisp minerality

  • Taste:

    Rich on the palate, a string bean machine. Pepper, ash, cedar, salinity, a hint of melon. Wild, extremely Tep forward Tepextate.

  • Finish:

    Long ashy finish that delivers some complexity beyond those bean and bell pepper notes. Rich, ashy, mineral forward with a profile that’s a perfect pair to some citrus.

  • Overall:

    Love Aquilano’s work and this Tep is no different - but you’ll need to love greens and smoke.

  • Score:

    7
