An incredible tasting of old vintages reaffirmed just how special Murrieta's wines can be, as well as how long they can age. This wine is not available commercially. The wine was in remarkable condition. In addition to cedary, cigar box, spice, and mushroomy notes, it revealed a distinctive balsamic vinegar taste, which added to its complexity. There is no reason to believe that modern vintages, particularly the Castillo Ygay, will not last this long if stored properly.
