I'm bulk purchasing Agave Spirit from a Mexican distillery. They sent me a sample of their product for the purchase of 8000L. The production is complete and they are ready to ship so they sent me this analysis:

Can anyone explain what these numbers mean? Are they in a good range for Agave Spirit (Tequila)? What would be ideal?
I also noticed it's not 100% blue agave. I asked for 100%. Do these numbers give a hint on what percentage of agave is used?
Thanks for any help.
