Lobenberg: Die Kombination von ungeheuer viel Zug, leichter Tanninschärfe und lebendiger Säure mit weicher, aromatischer, sehr reifer und feiner Frucht macht diesen Wein zu einem der großem Klassiker der spanischen Weinwelt. Ungeheuer finessereich und zarte Erotik, eine verspielte Tänzerin. Tondonia, La Rioja Alte und Ygay, das sind zu Recht die ganz großen alten Namen der spanischen Weinwelt.

Tim Atkin über: Castillo Ygay Gran Reserva Especial

-- Tim Atkin: 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

Falstaff über: Castillo Ygay Gran Reserva Especial

-- Falstaff: Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, dezente Randaufhellung. Feine tabakige, kräuterwürzige Nuancen, dunkle Kirschenfrucht, mineralisch und einladend, frische Orangenzesten. Komplex, stoffig, extraktsüß, feine Tannine, frisch und anhaftend, ein saftiger, bereits heute ungemein einladender Rotwein, den man wegsperren muss, damit auch etwas zum Reifen übrig bleibt. Samtig, feiner Nugat, tolle Länge, sicheres Reifepotenzial. 97/100

Parker über: Castillo Ygay Gran Reserva Especial

-- Parker: 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

Penin über: Castillo Ygay Gran Reserva Especial

-- Penin: Farbe: durchscheinendes Kirschrot, ziegelroter Saum. Aroma: elegant, reifes Obst, Noten von Tischlerei, würzig, stark gegerbtes Leder. Mund: ausgewogen, komplex, lang, feinkörnige Tannine, zartbitter. 96/100

Suckling über: Castillo Ygay Gran Reserva Especial

-- Suckling: 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 über: Castillo Ygay Gran Reserva Especial

-- Decanter: 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
