Wine Enthusiast
Reviewed February 2016Leather, dried cheese, wood grain, blackberry and cassis aromas make for a ripe attractive modern bouquet. This is mouthfilling, with full but controlled tannins. Baked blackberry, chocolate and mocha flavors come with bacon and hickory notes prior to a smooth finish. *Editors' Choice* (MS)

Wine Advocate
The second vintage of the second wine is the strictest in the Bordeaux sense. The 2010 Macán Clásico has benefited from one extra year in bottle compared side by side with the 2011, the fruit is receding and more complex aromas of bottle age are emerging, subtly balsamic with notes of forest floor, spices, more red fruit than black fruit, balanced and subtle, quite harmonious. The palate is medium-bodied and serious with some grainy tannins, good acidity. It is both subtle and immediate, accessible, yet ripe without excess. It ends with a slight, but pleasant bitterness. 33,8000 bottles and some larger formats were produced, less than for the Grand Vin. 92+ (LG)

Vinous
Vivid ruby. A complex, highly perfumed bouquet evokes ripe dark berries, cherry compote, vanilla and incense, with a mineral quality adding vibrancy. Sappy, seamless and broad on entry, then tightens up slowly in the middle, offering sweet blackberry and floral pastille flavors and a suggestion of mocha. Lingers with impressive tenacity on the fruit-driven finish, which is framed by fine-grained tannins that come up late. (JR)

Wine Spectator
This firm red shows a savory character, with tobacco, licorice and dried herb notes. A core of cherry fruit keeps this balanced, showing a structure of firm tannins and balsamic acidity. (TM)
