A wine of tremendous concentration and gastronomic invitation, the 2020 Macan has a small 3% addition of Graciano and is aged in French oak only for 18-20 months. The vintage was warm, lending a concentration of firm, age-worthy tannins to its striking beauty and powerfully elegant core. Aromatic in rose petal and dark chocolate, it's lengthy on the medium-bodied palate and balanced by underlying acidity, intended to show an evolution and departure in style, more finessed and structured, velvety and voluminous, but essential in its elegance and grace. Drink now through 2035. Maturity: 2025-2035. Score - 98. (Virginie Boone, jebdunnuck.com, July 30, 2025)

From the sister property of Vega Sicilia in Rioja, a partnership between the Alvarez and Rothschild families, the 2021 Macan Clasico has unrelenting freshness and is gorgeously aromatic. The vintage conditions were perfect and the wines able to achieve exceptional quality. Here, the Tempranillo is joined by 3% Garnacha, which provides additional brightness to juicy layers of red berry, cigar, and dried herb, with a foundation of supple tannins. Medium-bodied, the oak is well-integrated, interweaving the lilting spice and toast notes from a combination of French and American barrels that aged the wine for 14-16 months. With a long, silky, and finessed finish, it's drinking perfectly now. Continue to enjoy over the next 10-15 years. Maturity: 2025-2040. Score - 97. (Virginie Boone, jebdunnuck.com, July 30, 2025)

The 50% new oak needs a little more time to integrate perhaps, but this is a very classy Macán from Gonzalo Iturriaga. A nose of liquorice and sweet spices leads you into a palate of cassis, blackberry, cinnamon and vanilla. The finish is chalky and restrained, showing theelegance of the vintage. Drink date: 2027-2035. Score - 96. (timatkin.com, Rioja Special Report 2023)
