Verdict
A reference SLP ensamble. M. Maria de la Luz is one of the San Luis Potosí maestras whose bottlings for Campanilla keep setting category benchmarks. The June 2023 chino-cuerno-verde at 52.9% delivers three SLP wild agaves integrated into a composition where each retains character. The state's wild-agave tradition deserves more US attention, and Maria de la Luz's work is the argument. If SLP wild agaves interest you at all, this is the bottle to secure.
