Vintage 2016 | Absolutely beautiful, st Julien frivolity, very intens and perfumed | paired with Boeuf Bourguignon | I did not recognize / determine this as Rioja, was obsessed with left bank Bordeaux in my head. Wine of the Night. For me unknown, but o man so good.

Deep Ruby color and intense juicy black fruit. Aromas of plum, cedar, black Cherry, blackberry, vanilla. High acid, medium tanning and full body. 14.4% abv so a bit of a brooding monster. Long finish- very much an ultra modern evocation of Rioja with 71% Tempranillo, 15% Cabernet and 14% Graciano

In 2002, when Murrieta celebrated its 150th anniversary. Vicente Dalmau appointed winemaker María Vargas who played a particularly important role in producing this wine. Very well preserved bottle. Needs at least 40 min before drinking. Strong fruitful flavor. Plums, blackberries, vivid palette, well structured nose, inviting.

Almost a Burgundian nose with red florals. Rich, thicker dark and red fruit entry. The red fruit recessed to the back palate. Red cherries come on strong on the long finish. Soft & well intergraded tannins, some black wet earth, soft leather and a dry finish. Needs some more time in bottle but will develop into a really nice wine. Then, maybe add two tenths of a point to my score.
