CASTILLO YGAY GRAN RESERVA ESPECIAL IS EEN WIJN UIT RIOJA

Eén van de uitzonderlijke "El Podio" wijnen in Guia Peñin 2018.

Castillo Ygay Gran Reserva Especial wordt gemaakt door topwijnhuis Marques de Murrieta en heeft 26 maanden gerijpt op Amerikaans eikenhout. Het is een expressieve, klassieke Rioja van grote klasse met aroma's van rijp zwart fruit, cederhout, kruiden en aardse tonen. De prachtige tannines zijn goed geïntegreerd en de afdronk is waanzinnig en intens.

Uitstekende combinatie met rood vlees, wild, boeuf bourguignon, tournedos, paté, jamón en harde kazen. Op dronk, maar kan zich tenminste tot 2040 nog verder ontwikkelen. De optimale serveertemperatuur is 16°C.

2010 is door Winespectator tot beste Spaanse Wijn en verkozen tot beste wijn van de wereld, maar 2011 zal zeker daar niet onder doen.

 
The Wine Advocate:

"The 2011 Castillo Ygay Gran Reserva Especial was produced with a blend of 84% Tempranillo and 16% Mazuelo (Cariñena) from a plot called La Plana that was planted in 1950 at 485 meters in altitude, the highest in the Ygay property. The grapes were picked between September 17 and 22, and the Mazuelo was later, on September 28. The bunches were destemmed and lightly crushed and put to ferment in stainless steel for 11 days with constant pump-overs and punch-downs. The Tempranillo matured for 28 months in American oak barrels and the Mazuelo for 28 months in French barriques. It's 14% alcohol and has a pH of 3.65 with 5.6 grams of acidity (measured in tartaric acid per liter). It's very tough to follow a vintage like 2010, and 2011 was not an easy year; the wine is possibly more powerful and concentrated but keeping the freshness, with a longer élevage but very young and lively, with an elegant texture and mouthfeel, great balance and elegance. The wine feels lively, and it seems impossible that it has been in bottle for over six years. It has the classical profile with the effect of the American oak barrels, cigar box, cedar wood, sweet spices—aromatic, intoxicating, complex. This should age very slowly and for a very long time. 131,668 bottles produced. It was bottled in February 2016. No 2013, 2014 or 2015 will be produced. They have a 2012, and they will jump from that to 2016.

Luis Gutiérrez, July 2022


James Suckling: (UK): 
98 points. Extremely well-mannered, traditional character to this, showing layer upon layer of savory complexity on the nose, with iron, dried meat, tobacco, balsamic fruit, dried red berries, orange peel, leather and dried mushrooms. A medium-to full-bodied, linear and zesty Rioja that’s full of nuanced flavors that linger through the very long, savory finish. Floral, too. Yet, it remains bright and precise. Tempranillo with 16% mazuelo. Drink on release or hold.
