(Marques de Murrietta Castillo Y Gay Gran Reserva Especial) #3; COLOR-dark; NOSE-this nose is brilliant; textbook Rioja nose; reminds me of soup; I want to eat the nose; PALATE-I find that the oak is charming on this wine; a red spice component; some floral nuances; I love this wine; it is MASSIVELY balanced!!!!!; if you're a old world Bordeaux fan, I love the balance, I love subtle cranberry mixed with sour cherry; Lentil soup; this should last 50 years; GV-93

With FC and AW at Hispania. Ripe dark fruit - blackcurrant, touch of chocolate and vanilla, tobacco, spice, furniture polish. Medium/full bodied, blackcurrant fruit, spice, touch of tobacco, soft tannins, fresh acids, touch of heat perhaps on the good length finish. Excellent though and whilst approachable this is still relatively young.

A wonderfully aged Rioja. Still big, nose of violets, hint of earthiness in the surprisingly fruity body. Tannins supple but well present. Much character and would probably keep another 4-5 years.

Layers of earth, smoke, and tobacco on the nose, underpinned by rich notes of leather and mushroom. A meaty essence adds to the wine's depth, suggesting a well-integrated maturity.
On the palate, a medium body that elegantly carries soft notes of red fruits, blending with savoury meat nuances. Enough acidity there to provide balance. Soft tannins contribute to a smooth and velvety mouthfeel and enjoyable and medium length finish.
Not sure it will improve from here. Bought for £34 in 2010 from the Wine Society so VGV.
