Magnum Macán - Benjamin de Rothschild & Vega Sicilia - Rioja - Red Wine 2021 (150cl)

The description below comes from the retailer. Bottle details and price comparisons are listed above.

Macán 2021 comes from a year that saw above-average rainfall and a few hailstorms in June, which reduced yields, but the weather was favourable during the harvest. It contains 1% Graciano. This year, the estate decided to use 100% indigenous yeasts, and the wine was aged in new barrels (50%) and 4,000-litre oak casks for 12 months, followed by a further six months in 20,000-litre oak vats. All these decisions have given this wine seriousness and grandeur. The nose is complex with creamy spices, cedar, fresh blackberries, red plums, truffles and notes of walnuts and mocha. The smoky tannins are concealed in notes of tobacco and cherry leaves. The magnum format ensures ultimate preservation, allowing it to be stored for many years in cellars for the most patient.
