Verdict
A commercial ensamble. Campante's Ejutla barril-espadín ensamble at 40% is a distribution-tier bottle where both agaves are undersold by the proof. Ensambles at 40% rarely make the category case – barril needs 46%+ for structural expression, espadín wants 43%+ – and Campante's commercial proof choice caps what the composition can deliver. Banhez Ensamble outperforms for less money.
Ensambles at 40% rarely make the case
