Macan Clasico, Vega-Sicilia & Benjamin de Rothschild 2019 (750 ml)

93+ poena - The Wine Advocate

Macán Clásico 2019 je živopisno i elegantno izdanje sorte Tempranillo iz regije Sonsierra u Rioji, sa dubokom rubin bojom i ljubičastim odsjajem koji nagovještava njegovu mladalačku intenzivnost. Na nosu nudi primamljivu kombinaciju zrelih crnih trešanja, crne ribizle, divljeg bilja i ljubičice, upotpunjenu notama kedra, kakaa i suptilnog tosta od odležavanja u hrastu. Na nepcu je puno, a ipak profinjeno, sa zrelim, dobro strukturiranim taninima koje uravnotežuju svježa kisjelina, fina mineralnost i podatna, baršunasta tekstura. Koncentrisano, ali nikada teško, voće se besprijekorno pretače u dug, uglađen završetak. Zahvaljujući toploj i suvoj godini ublaženoj pravovremenim septembarskim kišama, berba 2019. donosi i bogatstvo i preciznost, sa elegancijom koja će se lijepo razvijati tokom naredne decenije.

Macán Clásico 2019 is a vibrant and elegant expression of Tempranillo from Rioja’s Sonsierra, displaying a deep ruby colour with violet reflections that speak to its youthful intensity. The nose offers an inviting mix of ripe black cherry, cassis, wild herbs, and violet, complemented by hints of cedar, cocoa, and subtle toast from oak ageing. On the palate, it is full-bodied yet refined, with ripe, well-structured tannins balanced by fresh acidity, a fine mineral edge, and a supple, velvety texture. Concentrated but never heavy, the fruit flows seamlessly into a long, polished finish. Benefiting from a warm, dry year offset by timely September rains, the 2019 vintage delivers both richness and precision, with the poise to develop beautifully over the next decade.
