Marques De Murrieta Castillo Ygay Gran Reserva Especial 2012 (3 bottle case)

With its complexity, finesse and restrained power coalescing to make it a potentially legendary offering.

So much dried flower, mushroom, iron, rust, sweet berry, and grilled orange. Full-bodied with very elegant and refined tannins that melt in the mouth and give a real sense of place and integrity. Balanced and harmonious. The finesse and finish is endless. Production was 30% less than in 2011. Already so drinkable. A wonderful future.

100 Points - James Suckling (Spanish Wine of the Year)

"This vintage stands out for its exceptional ripeness and impeccable texture. In my 30 years at Marqués de Murrieta, I have never seen such complexity when tasting from barrel to make the selection.  

A full and complex nose with black cherry and ripe plum aromas, cloaking hints of tea leaves, cedar wood and Mediterranean herbs on a background of dried flowers. Well framed and deep in the mouth, with polished tannins and full of nuances; harmonious and long-lived.

Another legendary Castillo Ygay vintage that brazenly challenges the passage of time.
