Marqués de Murrieta Especial Castillo Ygay Gran Reserva 2012

Description

So much dried flower, mushroom, iron, rust, sweet berry, and grilled orange. Full-bodied with very elegant and refined tannins that melt in the mouth and give a real sense of place and integrity. Balanced and harmonious. The finesse and finish is endless. Production was 30% less than in 2011. Already so drinkable. A wonderful future. This is the new 1934 or 1964, two legends. Drink or hold. [This has the potential to see the mid-2040s.] Score – 100. (jamessuckling.com, Nov. 15, 2023)
