52 reviewsHeat and smoke of roasted jalapeño, poblano and green bell peppers. Funk of prune yogurt and ricotta cheese. Sweetness of chocolate chip oatmeal cookies and christmas baking. Sweet flavors but a dry finish.
The alcohol is a tad to hot, only thing preventing this from becoming #hunnits

Nose: slight cheese and feta, melon, fresh wild lavender, honeysuckle
Palate and finish: excellent honeydew and cantaloupe, nice soft chalky mouthfeel, some menthol and sage. Moving into the finish some savory elements come in, earth, menthol, that milk chocolate others reference, slight bitter mineral and rock.
Not overly complicated but just all around a solid pour. Really good stuff.

Review #8: quality milk chocolate, lightly funky, cream cheese, soft ripe melons. Very in line with Jonny and James’ reviews, it’s savory with a smooth fruit undertone. It is very well rounded and maybe my favorite from derrumbes.

708 reviewsClean nose with notes of white sugar, honey, slate, and cold granite. The palate has notes of watermelon, dark mango, overripe cantaloupe, and a touch of milk chocolate. Very nice and soft. Syrupy mouthfeel. Lot 1. Bottle 630/800

EDIT AFTER JONNY’S REVIEW
Yes to mango and cantaloupe. Not picking up any watermelon but that’s what makes this a magical journey.
This might be my favorite Derrumbes yet. A close tie for sure with their Michóacan.
Nose – savory cheese and fruit with honey, if that makes sense. Perhaps combined with slightly caramelized bacon fat. Flavors – sweet medium chocolate, honey, honeysuckle from the vine… but this is not a super fruity high ringing bottle… Just when you think it’s going to get very bright and minerally it goes to this delicious round cocoa-honey finish. It’s a beautiful pour.
