Benjamin de Rothschild & Vega Sicilia SA 2013 Macán Clásico (Rioja)
Rubbery blackberry and peppery spice aromas lead to a palate with piercing acidity that might be perceived as shrill. Tangy red-plum flavors are so intense and shear that there's a citric element to this cool-vintage Rioja. On the finish, which is racy and choppy in feel, spice notes return. Drink through 2030.
