Country: Spain / Castillo Ygay Gran Reserva Especial
Variety: Tempranillo Blend Northern Spain
Winery: Marqués de Murrieta / Rioja
An elegant Rioja made in a more traditional style. The nose is a little baked and raisiny, with additional aromas of caramel and leather. The palate is where this wine shines: the feel is elegant and smooth, while the cherry and raspberry flavors are subtle and a little bit tangy. Mature and sexy stuff; more classic than modern, but not 100% old-school.
