SPECIAL BOTTLING! According to my research this Reserva is a rarity and practically not longer available. It´s a special bottling for a large German wine dealer in Lübeck / Northern Germany. The quality corresponds to the producer's bottling Grand Reserva 1995. Have a look at the original label on the bottle: "As an exclusive offer for the costumers of Carl Tesdorpf we have taken the unprecedented step of releasing just a limited number of bottles of the Castillo Ygay 1995 a few months in advance. Although bottled in April 2001, this wine only becomes Gran Reserva Especial after a further 3 years in bottle. For this reason we release it today as Reserva Especial." The filling level is optimal with into/base neck, label and capsule are perfekt. Please look at the photos. I am proud and grateful to be able to offer you this fine wine here, an other wonderful wine from my father's collection. It was selected with love, carefully stored and guarded like a treasure so that it still looks "fresh" even after so many years. The 0.75l bottle size offers enjoyment for more than one glass, alone, as a couple or with dear guests. Top scores (1995 vintage) 96/100 Falstaff 16/20 Jancis Robinson Marqués de Murrieta Estates and Wines is led since 1983 by the Cebrián-Sagarriga family. They describe the winery on their website: "A story written day by day by a family. The origin of the Marqués de Murrieta winery is also the origin of Rioja. Don Luciano Murrieta made the first Rioja wine in 1852 using techniques learned in Bordeaux, with the intention of preserving it over time. Don Luciano's vision was clear from the start: to create a fine Rioja wine with great aging potential and to export it outside of Spain. He shipped his first vintage, the legendary 1852, to countries like Mexico and Cuba, making it the first fine Rioja wine to be exported. In the Castillo, noble materials merge in perfect combination with the latest technologies, making one of the oldest industrial buildings in Europe a benchmark for modernity and balance. Due to its historical importance in the world of wine, its heritage and the architecture of the building itself, the Castillo de Ygay, and thus the headquarters of Marqués de Murrieta, was declared a museum in 2019."
