"Intense black-cherry color with good depth of color and hardly any signs of evolution. Very expressive aromas on the nose with notes of licorice, cinnamon and black pepper, with just a subtle hint of the long cask-ageing, thanks to its great complexity and ripe, concentrated fruit. Fresh and easy to drink on the palate, good backbone and lovely, polished tannins. The long, persistent finish leaves gentle balsamic reminders of the finest quality." —winemaker
"A beautiful colour with bright highlights. On the nose, fine notes of toasted wood and spices, combined with candied red fruits against a liquorice background. In the mouth it’s full-bodied, lush, with a backdrop of ripened fruit and mild, refined tannins. Long, velvety finish." —winemaker
"A vivid purple colour, intensely fruity nose with nuances of aromatic herbs, this wine shows off its young character, as well as a refined mouthfeel and deep aromas of blackberry backed by a mild oaky layer. Very fresh finish. Great with seasoned dishes based on pasta, rice and vegetables, as well as fried or roast white meat." —winemaker
"Dark cherry red with garnet highlights. Astounding aroma of black fruit (wild blackberries), with exquisite jammy (cherry) notes coming through, and a toasty nuance (roasted coffee). Dense and velvety on the palate, full of fruit extract, with long, flavorful and fragrant persistence that reveals elegant oak aging." —winemaker
"Bright red and garnet with a rim turning to brick showing its extended aging in barrel and bottle. Complex aromas from its development and aging, mature ripe black fruit, and vanilla and cinnamon spice, with a deep mineral core. Velvety smooth, harmonious with a fresh finish." —winemaker

"Intense deep red-garnet with a ruby trim. In the nose is intense with black ripe fruit, fig and a touch of raisins all mixed with intense spicy and smoky notes.

"A palpable example of the elegance, consistency and regularity that characterize Marqués de Murrieta winery. This wine shows the incredible personality of the Ygay Estate and summarizes perfectly what happens during a whole vegetative cycle. It's is made with Tempranillo, Mazuelo, Graciano and Garnacha. Each variety adds its personality to obtain a balanced wine after the barrel aging." —winemaker

Wine Anthology Team Review-An example of excellent winemaking! Perfectly balanced with flavors of black currant, fig, sage and mocha. Silky in it's presentation and comes with a long, lingering finish. Will benefit from a few more years bottle aging but drinking really well right now. Enjoy!
"The wine is garnet in color with pink hints at the rim. High aromatic intensity, where aromas of berries and licorice are recognized and joined with those from its aging in barrels such as spices, vanilla and anise notes. The palate is smooth due to well-integrated tannin that gives elegance and length for a fruity and balsamic aftertaste." —winemaker
"Bright cherry-red color and a rim with roof tile tones. High aromatic intensity, clean and sound. Complex on the nose with coffee, vanilla, roast and balsamic nuances integrated into an intense bottom note of ripe fruit. Elegant and round. It is well balanced with a velvety attack followed by a pleasant acidity and a silky and full-bodied aftertaste resulting from its noble and ripe tannin. Its long aftertaste has spicy and balsamic hints, resulting from its long and peaceful ageing, as well as confit fruit nuances that uncover its personality." —winemaker
