Kombinationen af enorm spænding, let tanninskarphed og livlig syre med blød, aromatisk, meget moden og fin frugt gør denne vin til en af de store klassikere i den spanske vinverden. Enorm finesse og delikat erotik, en legesyg danser. Tondonia, La Rioja Alte og Ygay er med rette de store gamle navne i den spanske vinverden.

Tim Atkin om: Castillo Ygay Gran Reserva Especial

Following on from the 2005 and 2007 releases, this is another stylish, complex, world-class red from Vicente Cebrián and María Vargas, with 19% Mazuelo providing the backboneof this ageworthy wine. The heat of the vintage has put plenty of fresh on the bones, complementing the savoury, spicy elegance. The tannins and acidity add balance and refinement. What a wine! 97/100

Parker om: Castillo Ygay Gran Reserva Especial

Marqués de Murrieta didn't produce their top red in 2008, so I tasted the 2009 Castillo Ygay Gran Reserva Especial. In 2009, the final blend was Tempranillo with 19% Mazuelo (or Cariñena), one of the highest percentages of Mazuelo ever. The grapes are now sourced from the La Plana vineyard within the Ygay estate, one of the higher-altitude plots at 485 meters. The grapes fermented and aged separately, the Tempranillo in American oak barrels and the Mazuelo in French barriques for 26 months, given its power. It has that seriousness, character and somehow rusticity of the Mazuelo, austere, harmonious and still young. It has good depth and concentration, still young and lively with fine tannins and a backbone of freshness that lifts it up. It will develop for a very long time in bottle. This is a great classical Rioja for the long haul. 96/100

Suckling om: Castillo Ygay Gran Reserva Especial

A special Rioja that’s traditional, but not old-fashioned. Dusty, licorice and spice nose with red fruit. A cool and elegant wine, in spite of the concentration. Long, firm finish. Expands with aeration. From vines planted in 1945. Drink or hold. 95/100

Decanter om: Castillo Ygay Gran Reserva Especial

2009 was a warm year, a good vintage to increase the Mazuelo component (up to 19%) in order to ensure balancing acidity next to the rich dark fruit. This has been successfully rendered, the tannins hitherto tight and fairly chalky, but the structure warm and embracing. Cassis and blackberry dominate the fruit profile, then black pepper, cloves and even a hint of cinnamon providing a spicy backdrop. The finish is powerful but does not want for elegance. 95/100
