An agave burst on the nose with herbaceous notes to boot. The calling cards of El Pandillo are alive & well on the palate. Cooked agave, minerality, pepper, light citrus and some extra punch from the 86 proof. This is a fantastic blanco that takes advantage of its cousin G4 Madera’s signature wood fermentation technique. My only qualm with this outstanding blanco is the price point. At 90$, as much as I enjoy the juice, the value proposition just doesn’t make sense here.
Nose: agave / earth / mineral/ pepper /very faint citrus/ lime / Taste: mildly sweet agave / pepper/ earthy/ mineral/ hint of apple / orange peel / licorice/ lemongrass / peppermint/ salt Finish: very light viscous mouthfeel with a slight bitterness near the end that lingers with a strong pepper note. This blanco is a good choice for those that prefer a pepper profile over sweetness. The sweet is there, but the earth, mineral, and pepper tones nearly dominate. It has a weak nose, but as a blanco that can be expected sometimes. A decent sipper if you like the peppery profile tastes.
Vibrant nose - Agave heavy Extremely soft mid palate, no alcohol presence —vegetative, mineral forward, floral. Peppery. Wonderful finish, extremely agave forward throughout. Nice and clean. Minerality is strong, nice sweetness. Easy drinker.
A fantastic blanco coming out of 1579. This is a great sipper that I can’t get enough of. A great nose that carries over to the palate. Nose: tons of cooked agave, citrus, minerals, vegetal, herbal, black pepper and earth. Palate: cooked agave, citrus, minerals, vegetal, herbal, black pepper and earth. Absolutely love this blanco! This one doesn’t disappoint.
Going to miss this one out of out of 1579. Looking forward to what the new Primo brings. As for this one it is a nice representation of a good blanco.
