The second wine in the Bordeaux sense is the Macán Clásico 2019, a more concentrated and powerful wine from a warmer, drier year that was saved by 80 liters of rain in the first half of September. It fermented in stainless steel with 10% of their own yeasts, and 22% was aged in stainless steel and the rest in new and used oak barrels, mainly French but with about 5% American barrels, for 12 months. The wine has a moderate alcohol content of 14%, soft acidity, good freshness, and good balance. 2019 was a dry, hot year, and vinification was gentle to avoid overly pronounced tannins. The nose is ripe without excess, and the oak is well integrated. The palate is juicy and round, with fine tannins and a velvety texture. (Wine Advocate 2023)

About wine:
Very deep crimson. Very bright, toasty, and intense fruit. Very lively and exciting. A touch of salinity. Very long. 2023-2030
James Suckling
Wine rated (2022 guide) 93/100
About wine:
Rich yet refined and layered nose, revealing aromas of dark plums, dried strawberries, olives, cocoa beans, and savory Mediterranean spices. The medium-bodied to full-bodied palate is framed by an abundance of powerful, fine-grained tannins that give it a grippy texture. Needs time. Drink after 2024.
