Castillo Perelada

Finca Espolla Empordà Monastrell Syrah 2021

9.1

Some jammy heft to this one that settles as it has time to breathe. Purple plum and a bit of blackberry. It gets better the longer it’s in the glass.

At the Perelada Winery in the Catalunya countryside. — 15 days ago

Great rioja for the price. Great flavors of vanilla and warm spice. Thin body but nice structure otherwise. Crisp for a rioja. — 7 months ago

Castillo Ygay Reserva Especial Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2018

Sipping Fine Wine

9.2

Blend of 86% Tempranillo, 8% Graciano, 4% Mazuelo (Cariñena) and 2% Garnacha, grapes and various plots fermented separately, aged for 20 months in American oak, then blended. Deep Ruby color with aromas of ripe black fruits and floral spice notes. On the palate flavors of cherry, blackberry and plum with notes of leather, vanilla and oaky notes. Fine tannins, long finish, lively acidity ending with fruit, sweet oak and spice. Nice! ‘17 a bit better! — 9 months ago
