Knockout Deal on 98Pt Gran Reserva Rioja- 6pk Wood Cases

I can’t believe we are almost to the end of 2016! It has been a wonderful, wild and memorable year to say the least! To end the year with a bang I have a rocking Gran Reserva Rioja deal from the top of the Rioja quality hierarchy! I absolutely love Gran Reserva Rioja like this that is released at 10 years of age with sweet, soft mature red fruits, tertiary spice, tobacco, and leather notes and absolutely pure, mature tannins that go down so smooth! The 2007 Marques de Murrieta “Castillo Ygay” Gran Reserva Especial is an absolute knockout! In 2007 the estate dropped half of the fruit to make an extremely dense and complex old vine cuvee that merits your attention! We managed to take down a handful of beautiful 6 Pack Wooden Cases of this beauty for 30% less than the release price! Take advantage of this banging blue-chip Gran Reserva today for this great deal!  This beauty is still a baby, but it’s extremely long in the mouth with depth and tannins that should melt in a couple of years and drink great for 3 decades. Cheap it is not, but very good value it is, for the quality it delivers. In Napa this sucker would be over $300! For those that love rich wines with oak this is the perfect high quality Spanish red to be your bridge into the Old World. Snag a case and be blown away! I know you will love every sip my friend!  Cheers!

James Suckling 98: The aromas of this show an amazing freshness of flowers and herbs such as lavender, rosemary, and violet. Then it goes to raspberry, candy and currants. Black licorice too. A truly great wine on the nose. Full-bodied, racy and linear. So polished. It’s like a red ruby. 86% tempranillo and 14% mazuelo in the blend. For release in September 2015. Great length and future. Give it three years or so. Or decant two hours in advance.

This is always one of my favorite top quality wines from Spain and it deserves a place in your cellar! Grab a six-pack OWC for your collection, but-act fast! Happy New Year! -kim@graileys.com
