"The second wine in the Bordeaux tradition is the Macán Clásico 2019, a more concentrated and powerful wine from a warmer, drier vintage that was saved by the 80 liters of rain that fell during the first half of September. It fermented in stainless steel with 10% of the winery’s own yeasts, and 22% of the aging took place in stainless steel, with the remainder in new and used oak barrels—primarily French, though with about 5% American oak—over a 12-month period. The wine has a moderate alcohol content of 14%, gentle acidity, good freshness, and good balance. The 2019 vintage was dry and hot, and the winemaking was gentle to avoid overly pronounced tannins. The nose is ripe without being excessive, and the oak is well integrated. The palate is juicy and round, with fine tannins and a velvety texture. " (Wine Advocate 2023)

About the wine:
Deep crimson. Very bright, toasty, and intense fruit. Very lively and exciting. A touch of minerality. Very long finish. 2023–2030
James Suckling
Wine rated (2022 guide) 93/100
About the wine:
A rich yet refined and layered nose that unfolds with aromas of dark plums, dried strawberries, olives, cocoa beans, and savory Mediterranean spices. The medium- to full-bodied palate is framed by an abundance of powerful, fine-grained tannins that give it a grippy texture. It needs time. Best enjoyed after 2024.
