Marqués de Murrieta Rioja Castillo Ygay Gran Reserva Especial 1986
This is a triumph. An amazing white showing roasted pineapple, dried apple, flowers and hints of lemon curd and almonds on the nose. Full-body, closed and tight with amazing depth and beauty. Waxy, salty and creamy. Goes on for minutes. Twenty-one years in wood, seven in concrete and then about three years in bottle. First year released since 1978. Viura with a hint of malvasia. I have the same mind-tingling sensation tasting this as tasting the 1963 Viña Tondonia Gran Reserva Blanco. Another perfect wine. 8,000 bottles made. 100 points
