2011 Rioja Gran Reserva Especial, Castillo Ygay Magnum

The 2011 Rioja Gran Reserva Especial Castillo Ygay in Magnum is a flagship release that embodies classic Rioja elegance with remarkable ageing potential.

Crafted predominantly from Tempranillo with a touch of Mazuelo, it spent extended time in oak and bottle, resulting in beautifully integrated fruit, spice and structure. Expect aromas of dark cherry, dried flowers, cedar, tobacco and sweet spice, leading to a silky but firmly framed palate with impressive depth and savoury complexity.

The magnum format enhances longevity and balance, making it a superb centrepiece for collectors, fine-dining lists and long-term cellaring.
