Sozimo Jarquín Espadín La Chaga, Miahuatlán April 2017 51.5% for Neta

Nose: Imagine a spicy version of the Big Mac sauce (thousand island), roasted tomatoes, lemongrass, rotel, celery, black canned olives, worcestershire sauce, tire shop, maíz blanco (white hominy), classic bloody mary. With more time in the glass, you get a super intense beef jerky note.

Palate: A very refined version of the nose. A classy sunday brunch. An insanely smooth 51.5%. Tiny bites of cecina. Beets. Blackberry vinegar. Buckwheat pancakes with smoked breakfast sausages and a touch of potato / turnip / onion hash.

Rating: 6 (Ryan) 7 (Shane) / 10 – an elegance and flavors
