Benjamin Rothschild Vega Sicilia, Macan

Benjamin Rothschild Vega Sicilia, MacanWonderfully inky depths to the colour and also the palate, with a silky texture and underlying floral notes that sit alongside the power to add an injection of freshness and balance. This has the generosity of Rioja, the sexy smoky edge to the black cherry fruit that adds approachability to the best wines, but also displays a real sense of restraint and subtle power. Still young, this again has high spice and concentrated flavours that will soften

Wonderfully inky depths to the colour and also the palate, with a silky texture and underlying floral notes that sit alongside the power to add an injection of freshness and balance. This has the generosity of Rioja, the sexy smoky edge to the black cherry fruit that adds approachability to the best wines, but also displays a real sense of restraint and subtle power. Still young, this again has high spice and concentrated flavours that will soften over the next few years. This gets even better after half an hour in the glass, strongly recommend this wine if you want to understand the potential of Macán. 80% new oak, plus barrels that had been less highly toasted.
