Description

From the Wine Advocate :-

The true glories of Marques de Murrieta are the red wines. The sensational 1968 Castillo Ygay is an extremely dense, concentrated, full-bodied wine with loads of flavor. Robert Parker 1994

Much better than the last bottle of this tasted. Transparent bright orange brick color. Knockout nose of potpourri, heavy on the dried orange peel, tea, just classic Ygay. Palate has great juicy sweet cherry acidity, punchy, silken, and seamless, barely a hint of its true age. The most amazing aspect was how the flavor and acidity build and crescendo well after swallowing, just saturating every crevice with tangerine sweetness. Bottled in 1983 and released in 1987.

Pristine bottle, popped and poured and followed over the evening... Beautiful, bright bouquet redolent of rhubarb, rose hips, smoked tea (Lapsang souchong), a whiff of caramel from oak, the nose gets sweeter with air. Complex aromatically. The palate is wonderful as well, quite intense from the bright acids, nearly tart, but balanced by pitch-perfect sweet cherry fruit. The texture is so silky, with a terrific finish. With air, a smoky note from the tannins develops. This shows so young, so clean, it holds up really well for 4+ hours. This transcends wine. Fantastic.

11/9/2016 - ERIC GUIDO LIKES THIS WINE: 94 Points
A spectacular display, showing dried cherry, coco dust, hints of spice, parchment, musk and tete de moine. On the palate, I found a soft expression of resolved tannin with still-lively acidity giving way to dried cherry, dusty inner florals, and leather. It finished long with an acid twang and lingering notes of cherry.
