Marqués de Murrieta - Castillo Ygay Gran Reserva Especial Tinto 2012 (750ml) Tikves Wine Region100 Points James Suckling *#1 Spanish Wine of 2023*: "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. This is the new 1934 or 1964, two legends." 97 Points Robert

This wine displays silky tannins

Its bouquet stands out with notes of exotic fruits

and pears float atop juicy acidity and texture that won’t quit

Each vineyard site is visited twice a week during the maturing season to ensure that the fruit is maturing slowly and that water is only applied when necessary

and spice that entices fans of juicy Rhône-style blends

Wonderful ripe strawberries

vintage after four vintages with below average yields
