Wine Advocate August 2013:

"It exhibits greater intensity on the nose with elegant red fruit, mingling with lavender and terracotta aromas.

It is well-defined and speaks of its place. A dense plum color and a big, spicy nose revealing an abundance of cassis and liquorice, crisp red fruit, sage and a touch of orange rind laced with hints of tobacco. With beautiful texture, outstanding purity, full body and a long finish.

The cocoa-tinged finish is both satisfying and long.
Drink now - 2025."

 

 

From Marqués de Murrieta's Ygay estate in La Rioja Alta, the exceptionally ripe grapes used in this Reserva are carefully selected, hand-picked and aged in small oak barriques for 2 years with further bottle maturation before it is released.

"Best Buy" - Wine Enthusiast

"Luminous, pale straw color with metallic highlights. Lively bouquet combining pears and mineral notes with a discreet depth of grapefruit.  

 

Well-integrated fruit flavors awaken the palate with their refreshing vivacity and persist in the mouth to give good length.

 

An ideal wine to relax with as a delicious aperitif or to accompany seafood, grilled fish and shellfish, rice and pasta dishes, etc. Also complements sushi and sashimi dishes."

 

We think that this is a great choice for the upcoming holidays. Ideal served as an aperitif or a perfect accompaniment to light meats, fish and seafood.
