Tasting Notes The man, the myth, the legendâŚthe mysterious mezcalero Don Celso of RĂo Golea is spoken of in reverential terms by agave cognoscenti the world over.

Foreshadowed by a nose of bold dark fruit (blueberries?!), sweet green herbs (tarragon? sage?) and dry hard cheese (parmesan!), the explosive palate delivers a motherload of minerality, weighty mouthfeel, deep berries and smoky musculature on the palate. It must be experienced to be understood. And even then⌠|
