Derrumbes Tampaulipas is made using a combination of three rare varieties of agave – Americana, Funkiana and Univittata – two of which are only found in the state of Tampaulipas. It is a sweet, rich and dry spirit, with a lightly smoky flavour mingling with the floral agave notes.
The flavours are bright and full of mouth puckering acidity- very fresh. There are layers of guava, papaya, kiwi, and plantain, all wrapped up with some vegetal funk. The finish brings even more to the party with deep flavors of roasted coffee, velvety chocolate, and clay. This is an interesting and brain-breaking spirit for the adventurous.
Quality is consistent. Deeper bouquet and flavor than most Cali Zins. The Earth tones come thru beautifully about two years from Vintage. Wonderful
Red to contemplate on its own or with good food.
chianti at a good price- good value for everyday drinking
Not quite in same class as recent chianti from Wine Direct released earlier this year-but also half the price. Excellent value for a red wine: you don't have to worry about finding a superior food to match at this excellent price.
Hard pushed to find a NZ red at this price/quality ratio!
