Freshness, fruitiness and delicacy are its hallmarks. Its elaboration takes place in stainless steel tanks, with a part of malolactic fermentation in oak, and a barrel aging that ranges between 12 and 14 months depending on the characteristics of the vintage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCritical Acclaim\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRP93\u003cbr\u003e\nRobert Parker's Wine Advocate\u003cbr\u003e\nThe second wine in the Bordeaux sense is the 2019 Macán Clásico, a more concentrated and powerful wine cropped from a warmer and drier year that was saved by the 80 liters of rain in the first half of September. It fermented in stainless steel with 10% of their own yeasts, and the élevage was 22% in stainless steel and the rest in new and used oak barrels, mostly French but with around 5% of them American, and lasted 12 months. It has a moderate 14% alcohol, mellow acidity and good freshness and balance. 2019 was a dry and warm year when they did a soft vinification to avoid harsh tannins. The nose is ripe without excess, and the oak is neatly integrated. The palate is juicy and round, with fine tannins and a velvety texture.\u003cbr\u003e\nRating:93+\u003cbr\u003e\nJS93\u003cbr\u003e\nJames Suckling\u003cbr\u003e\nRich, but refined and layered nose that unwinds dark plums, dried strawberries, olives, cocoa beans and some savory Mediterranean spices. Medium-to full-bodied palate, framed by an abundance of powerful, fine-grained tannins that give a grippy texture.\u003cbr\u003e\nWS91\u003cbr\u003e\nWine Spectator\u003cbr\u003e\nA balanced, medium-bodied red, with a pleasing, plush texture, this shows a well-knit range of ripe cherry and black raspberry, red licorice, dried thyme and hints of espresso and loamy earth. Features fine-grained tannins, which emerge to firm the spiced finish.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Benjamin de Rothschild","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44169142239456,"sku":"118631","price":210.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/products\/benjamin-de-rothschild-vega-sicilia-macan-clasico_1_d5b8aada-21f3-4d18-804a-a98a3483e29f.jpg?v=1693943054","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/benjamin-de-rothschild-vega-sicilia-macan-clasico-2019-1-5l","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
