The nose offers dried strawberries and cooked cherries with dried flowers and herbs. The medium-bodied palate is similar to the nose, with dried cranberries, cherries, and dried flowers. The texture is silky with very fine tannins; acidity is lifted. The wine is ripe but not overripe; it’s lightly savoury like an Italian wine but with New World fruit.

An earthy, creamy full-bodied Tempranillo, Mourvedre, Nebbiolo & Grenache blend has a distinct, slightly salty aftertaste, with a dark berries finish. Its elegant and delicate tannins and pleasant acidity make this a wine accessible to all palates. It has a nicely balanced nose, is smooth and delicious with hints of oak and spices, chocolate and pepper, leather and sea salt.

Concentrated aromas of blueberry compote, cassis and black plum with savory notes that make you want to dive into the glass; think licorice, tobacco, roasted tomatoes, mint and BBQ sweetness. The aromas are upheld on the palate with a smoky/meaty note, roasted red pepper, more raspberry and cherry, equally complex tertiary notes of leather, bitter cocoa, poppyseed, campfire smoke, and menthol. The texture is well-integrated with supple tannins, medium acidity and great concentration.

Aromas of cured meat, tar, and smoky dark fruit lead to flavors of charred, tar, ash, and darker fruits like black cherries and black currants. This wine has a lovely texture for Nebbiolo, with soft tannins and medium acidity providing structure.

A polished and clean style with notes of white pepper, mineral water, cactus and subtle baked apple. The palate is focused with cilantro, queen Anne's lace, cucumber, and slightly sweet lime.

Mal Bien Papalote from Don Ciro and Javier Barranca was produced in Chilapa de Alvarez, Guerrero. Don Ciro has been distilling agave spirits longer than most mezcaleros have been alive. His grandson Javier, on the other hand, is relatively new to the family business, having spent much of his 20s in “El Norte.” Working together for the past 7 years, theirs is a story of tradition, the passing of generational knowledge and its adaptation in a new era.
