Macan, Vega-Sicilia & Benjamin de Rothschild 2018 (750 ml)

94+ poena - The Wine Advocate

Macán 2018, vodeće vino zajedničkog projekta Vega-Sicilia i barona Benjamina de Rothschilda, predstavlja profinjeno i snažno izdanje sorte Tempranillo iz Rioje. Hladniji i vlažniji uslovi berbe donose dodatni sloj svježine i elegancije njegovom profilu. Na nosu nudi složen buket kremastih začina, kedra, zrelih kupina, crvenih šljiva, tartufa i suptilnih nota oraha i moće. Na nepcu je srednjeg do punog tijela, sa čvrsto isprepletenim, višeslojnim taninima koji daju postojanu, linearnu strukturu, vodeći ka dugom, prodornom i snažnom završetku. Ovo je vino dubine, preciznosti i profinjenosti, sa strukturom koja mu omogućava da dostojanstveno stari dugi niz godina.

94+ points - The Wine Advocate 

Macán 2018, the flagship wine of the joint venture between Vega-Sicilia and Baron Benjamin de Rothschild, is a refined and powerful expression of Tempranillo from Rioja. The cooler, wetter conditions of the vintage bring an added layer of freshness and elegance to its profile. On the nose, it offers a complex bouquet of creamy spices, cedar, ripe blackberries, red plums, truffle, and subtle hints of walnut and mocha. The palate is medium to full-bodied, with tightly knit, multi-dimensional tannins that give a firm, linear structure, leading to a long, penetrating, and powerful finish. This is a wine of depth, precision, and finesse, with the structure to age gracefully for many years.
