Note di degustazione
Deep ruby-red. Highly expressive, smoke-accented black raspberry, cherry pie, incense and cola aromas show outstanding clarity and spicy lift. Expansive, palate-staining red fruit preserve and cherry-vanilla flavors are complemented by candied rose, mocha and succulent herb flourishes. The floral note carries emphatically through a strikingly long, energetic finish that's given shape by suave, polished tannins.

The current vintage of the first wine is the 2015 Macán, fermented in oak vats and matured in new French oak barrels for 12 months, followed by a further five months in oak vats and kept in bottle for almost three years before it's released. 2015 was a warm and dry year, and the wine feels riper when tasted next to the 2016 Macán Clásico, which comes from a very different year. The use of foudres helps to give the wine length and elegance—a good tool to fine-tune warmer vintages like this one. This is stylistically different from 2016, with darker fruit and an earthy touch. It's powerful, with structure and plenty of tannin, a dense wine, with concentration to get polished in bottle. 74,465 bottle, 2,563 magnums and some larger formats produced. It was bottled in May 2017.
