  Interesting that Pinot Noir vs. Tempranillo comparation.
  Although I have to reconize that sometimes they share similar elegance and texture, Castillo de Ygay is blended, usually with Graciano and Mazuelo so quite different in composition.
  Anyway I think that it is like Bordeaux, sometimes it tastes and smell like Burgundian wine, specially when it has been ageing gracefully.
  Cheers!
