My first time trying Dalmau; arguably the most modern expression from Marqués Murrieta. The fruit for Dalmau comes from 70+ year old vines planted in the Canajas vineyard.
Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The 2019 pours a deep ruby/purple with an opaque core; medium+ viscosity with significant staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe, black cherry, plum, tobacco, cedar, and fine baking spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long. A polished wine that’s still very much and infant. Drink now with patience and through 2044. Bottle No. 14135/15526 — 2 months ago
Deep Ruby red color with aromas of ripe black fruits, pepper spice and oak. On the palate flavors of ripe blackberry and plum with cinnamon, cacao, cacao and smoky notes. Big chewy tannins, medium+ finish, lively acidity, nice mouthfeel, ending with vanilla and earthy mineral tones, a fine Sipping Wine!! — 3 months ago
Deep Ruby color with aromas of ripe red and black fruits, spice and toasty notes, aged for 14 months in oak. On the palate flavors of blackberry and plum with licorice, cacao and spicy oak notes. Balanced acidity, fine chewy tannins, long finish ending with fruit, spice and earthy mineral character. — 7 months ago
New to wine. This was one of the first quality reds I was recommended. Should age well and has decent tannins. — a month ago
