"The 2013 Macán Clásico is a blend sourced from 130 vineyard plots in the Sonsierra region of La Rioja. It aged in oak barrels for a year before being bottled. This 2013 vintage is quite elegant and fresh, with notes of red fruit and sweet spices (cinnamon, vanilla), and is very approachable. The oak seems better integrated than in previous years. It’s very flavorful, with spices masking the soft tannins and a long, very flavorful, and lively finish. Fresh and drinkable, sweeter and more approachable than the regular Macán. They had to sort and select the fruit, as it was a complex year, resulting in fewer bottles than in previous vintages.” (Wine Advocate 2016 - Robert Parker)
