Mezcal Vago
Mezcal Ensamble En Barro

Category: Blanco Mezcal

Date Tasted:
Country: Mexico
Alcohol: 50.5%
Clear color. Herbal, green, grassy, minerally aromas and flavors of blistered peppers, grilled Herbs de Provence, red apple, and cheese stuffed fried zucchini blossom with a velvety, vibrant, dry medium body and a warming, complex, long finish revealing accents of grilled pepper and toasted artichokes, smoked meats and balsamic deglazed cremini mushrooms, blistered peppers, and star anise. A little bit demure on the nose at first but enlivened by the first sip and then the complexity grows every time you revisit the glass; so much character shines through even with the higher ABV.
