2004 Marqués de Murrieta Rioja Castillo Ygay Gran Reserva Especial
Community Tasting Note
Yiannis Likes this wine:
94 Points
Sunday, March 23, 2014 - Unlike many CT reviewers, I found this bottle readily expressive and just entering its drinking plateau. Color is medium to dark ruby. Red cherries, berries, spices (more pronounced on the palate than on the nose), florality and nicely integrated oak. Medium-bodied with firm tannins of great quality, amazingly pure and clean fruit, med+ acidity and a lovely long and spicy aftertaste. Great potential for further aging. Elegant, complex and refined Rioja.

Your palate is more sophisticated, braver even than mine... :-)
GR with less than fifteen years, I've always founded little hard and non-ready. Ygay or Prado Enea, I don't care..
That's great cause it's a nice advanced advice! Thanks!
Cheers!
