There are few connections closer to the heart of Rioja than Marqués de Murrieta, whose founder, Luciano Murrieta, was one of the first winemakers to establish a winery in Rioja in the mid 19th century after studying winemaking in Bordeaux. His legacy lives on today in the perennially high-scoring Castillo Ygay Gran Reserva Especial Rioja, with the 2007 vintage scoring 98 points by James Suckling and the 2010 release clinching the #1 spot on the Wine Spectator’s Top 100 list last year.

Gran Reserva is the most prolonged aging classification in Rioja, requiring a minimum of two years in barrel followed by three years in bottle before release. Castillo Ygay’s 2007 vintage has seen an additional eight and a half years of bottle development, transforming the wine into pure hedonism with incredibly soft and supple tannins, luscious flavors, and an ethereal finish.

A truly great wine on the nose. Full-bodied, racy and linear. So polished. It’s like a red ruby. 86% tempranillo and 14% mazuelo in the blend….Great length and future….”

“…This is still a baby, long and with depth and tannins that should melt in a couple of years. Compared with the 2005 it is fresher, perhaps not as concentrated, but for me the extra freshness compensates and puts it at a very similar quality level…”
95+ Points
“Beguiling nose: lifted, with kirsch and floral notes, real garrigue scents of lavender and wild herbs. In the mouth the fruit is more solid; cherry, but also a plummy rasp of bittersweetness, with liquorice notes. The tannins are fine but dense and chewy…”
