WINE DESCRIPTION
This complex and robust Spanish red is a blend of Tempranillo from the Benjamin de Rothschild estate. The resulting wine is a deep ruby color, with intense and complex aromas of ripe black fruit like mulberry and blackberry, as well as notes of tobacco and cedar. On the palate, the tannins are well-integrated, with a long and pleasant finish. It's a perfect pairing for a juicy steak or a hearty stew.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Benjamin de Rothschild – Vega Sicilia Macán is a magnificent expression of Spanish Tempranillo.Deep and intense aromas of dark fruits and earthy spices, such as blackberry and nutmeg, mingle with notes of cigar, leather and minerals. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and complex, with ripe tannins providing structure and a lush texture. Flavors of blackberry, black pepper, and espresso are supported by subtle hints of smoke and vanilla. The finish is long and persistent, with hints of dark chocolate and licorice lingering. This is a stunning wine that will reward any and all with its complexity, elegance and balance.
