The red wine Castillo Ygay Gran Reserva Especial Rioja DOCa, vintage 2004 from the winery Marqués de Murrieta has been rated in 2019 by Peter Moser with 95 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape varieties Tempranillo, Carignan from the region La Rioja in Spain.
Strong ruby, purple reflections, broader ochre rim. A hint of fig, delicate noble wood savouriness, dark fruit notes, candied orange zest, ripe plum fruit. Juicy, complex, sweet and accessible, ripe, round tannins, fine herbal savouriness in the aftertaste, very long, mineral, chocolate and dried figs on the finish, a sturdy food wine.
More about the tastingThis wine is the traditional Rioja classic par excellence. Almost impetuously fruity, fleshy fruit, citrus, spicy bread, full-bodied in the mouth, yet rich in finesse and almost slender thanks to its considerable acidity, can age for decades. A better price-performance ratio is hardly imaginable.
