Bodegas Benjamin de Rothschild-Vega Sicilia
Macán Clásico Rioja Tempranillo
Tried twice! Produced by Vega Sicilia and Bodegas Benjamin De Rothschild, aged in mostly French oak (new and 1 year old) for about 12 months, deep Ruby with aromas of fresh fruits and spice. On the palate flavors of fresh youthful berry fruit, cherry, licorice, vanilla and well integrated cedar. Fine tannins, long finish ending with fruit character, cacao and cedar character, very nice!

Apr 10th, 2016I had is big brother a couple of month ago and it was unapproachable, yes this Tempranillo is excellent and even though it needs time, it already shows it's great quality. The collaboration between Vega Sicilia and Rotschild pays off. The wine has a deep Ruby color with a light touch of brown, the nose is still tight with notes of smoked oak, black current, pin and flowers, full body with dry round tannins and great supporting acidity, long complex and delicious finish. My score 90, drink to 2024
