Marques de Murrieta Castillo Ygay Gran Reserva Especial, 2010/11 D.O.C.a Rioja

An exceptional and vary rare Rioja, with a superb vintage, too. This bodega was established in 1852 and is proudly old-fashioned in its approach. All the grapes are sourced from the bodega’s own vineyards at Ygay near Logroño.
Aged for over three years in American oak and only ever produced in the most exceptional vintages. Predominant over everything is the sheer quality of the fruit, born out by rich black fruit and balsamic aromas and seductive hints of vanilla . Earth, spice and black cherry dance with dexterity over the palate, and there is great finesse and charm on the finish. Very complex. Full
and intense with fantastic depth and power.

We recommend decanting and allowing to breathe for at least 20 minutes.
