Macán Clásico is gradually asserting its own style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProfessional Ratings\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e94 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate\u003cbr\u003eThe 2020 Macán Clásico was cropped from a more generous crop. The grapes were put in a cold chamber for one night and then underwent a cold soak of three to four days, after which they inoculated the yeasts—in 2020, 25% of it was their native yeast. It fermented in stainless steel, and the élevage was 45% in new French and 5% new American oak barrels, 28% in second use barrel and 22% in stainless steel for one year. The bottled wine has 14% alcohol, a pH of 3.78 and 4.5 grams of acidity (tartaric). This is one of the most elegant vintages of this bottling so far. It has showy aromatics with notes of smoky bacon, a bit meaty, and the thing that surprised me the most was the velvety texture.\u003cbr\u003e93 James Suckling\u003cbr\u003eBlack olives and a hint of black bean puree to the fresh black cherries, damsons and a hint of mint. Refined, medium-bodied palate with fine, fresh tannins that are present but not grainy. Really elegant and long. Drinkable now, but will develop well in the next six to seven years.\u003cbr\u003e90 Wine Spectator\u003cbr\u003eFine-grained, creamy tannins are well-meshed with juicy black cherry and mulberry fruit, rooibos tea leaf, red licorice, cocoa powder and fresh earth flavors in this supple, silky red. Drink now through 2030.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Benjamin de Rothschild","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44161189118176,"sku":"100886","price":137.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/files\/benjamin-de-rothschild-vega-sicilia-macan_1.jpg?v=1693426141","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/benjamin-de-rothschild-vega-sicilia-macan-2018-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
