The 1925 vintage has produced an utterly classic example of Castillo Ygay Reserva Especial and we were fortunate to have a pristine bottle in Saarbrncken in March of this year. The beautiful nose wafts from the glass in a complex and still quite vibrant melange of red and black cherries, celery seed, autumnal soil tones, clove, Rioja nuttiness, brown spices, dried eucalyptus and fallen leaves. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and tangy, with stunning complexity, a superb core of red fruit, melted tannins and a very, very long, vibrant and wide open finish. This is a timeless legend in Rioja and this particular bottle delivered one hundred percent of the legendary depth, breed and complexity of the one of the greatest vintages ever of Ygay Reserva Especial! 2015-2035.

Worried this was corked but it's blown off. Amazingly youthful for a near 100 year old wine- probably reconditioned. Resolved dark wood and sour cherry. Very pretty and persistent. Hours later this has exploded. Soft and gorgeous. No issues. Pure joy.
