Note di degustazione
Deep brilliant red. Oak-spiced cherry and raspberry scents are complemented by suggestions of musky earth, pipe tobacco and mocha. Bright and seamless in the mouth, offering juicy red fruit and floral pastille flavors that firm up slowly on the back half. In a graceful, open-knit style, finishing with good persistence, the smooth tannins framing the gently sweet, oak-kissed fruit.

The red blend 2013 Rioja Reserva is mostly Tempranillo with 9% Graciano, 5% Mazuelo and 3% Garnacha, a proportion that is very similar from year to year as they want this blend to show the typicity of the Ygay estate. They blend grapes from different vineyards, soils, expositions and altitudes in search of a traditional, fine and elegant red aged in American oak barrels with more modern characteristics like fruit, mid-palate and integration of the oak. The destemmed and lightly crushed grapes fermented separately in stainless steel vats and the wine matured in barrel for 18 months. This is a somehow unusual vintage of Murrieta Reserva from a challenging vintage, with aromas of beef blood, sweet spices and red cherries. The palate is vibrant with citrus acidity, flavors of acid berries and an elegant, long finish. Unusual, but I like it. 900,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in seven lots between July and September 2016.
