Marqués de Murrieta Castillo Ygay Gran Reserva Especial 1970

Bottled Twelve Years Late, On Purpose

Marqués de Murrieta Castillo Ygay Gran Reserva Especial 1970 · Rioja, Spain · tasted 29 November 2024

Harvested in 1970, bottled only in July 1982 — Castillo Ygay Gran Reserva Especial is declared only in exceptional years. Fifty-four years on, the colour had long since faded to brick, but the acidity was still razor-sharp.
