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.
This is very good value for money. A Piedmont red under $30! It has good dark fruit, some nice tannins and acid to balance although it would benefit from some more age to smooth it a bit but I liked its feistiness now.
I was happily surprised by the quality of the labels in the "mystery" case of rose wines - great value for the money I must say. Excellent drinking experience from the unfamiliar labels and happy to enjoy again the familiar ones.
