Macan Classico is the second wine in the Bordeaux sense, even though the name might be rather confusing and some people might think this is the superior cuvee. It’s clearly a more accessible wine than its sibling, and that’s intentional. Bright ruby-colored, with some red fruit and lactic notes complemented by licorice, spices, smoke, coffee, vanilla, balsamic, smoked meat, sweet fruit, and chocolate. Elegant and harmonious, Benjamin de Rothschild & Vega Sicilia Macan Clasico is medium-bodied with balanced acidity and good length. It’s quite approachable and pleasant to drink with some fine tannins.
