Bonete Raicilla Costa is a blend of 60% Angustifolia Haw and 40% Rhodacantha, These agave are roasted underground and then distilled twice in wooden stills carved from the sacred Oyamel tree, hence the front label.
The resulting spirit is wild and powerful with unparalleled depth and racing acidity. A unique example of what Jalisco has to offer locally called as "vino", but officially marketed as 'Raicilla' to prevent confusion with the state's other agave spirit, tequila. No one is confusing these two products!
This Raicilla is savoury with olive brine aromas and smoky BBQ flavours.
Lovely ready now dry red. What You expect from down that way with no rough edges and just enough tannin to give it some grunt. Very good value at this price.
Have been buying this wine for years (and years). Consistently delivers a beautiful, savoury rhone wine experience. Definitely punches above its weight. Deep garnet, full bodied, leathery with light spice notes.
Dark, medium to full bodied, with mature flavours starting to evolve. Excellent value, typical Bordeaux wine. Could easily become our house favourite! Delivers very good value for the price.
