Marques Murrieta, Rioja Dalmau Reserve Vintage:2004 A highly perfumed bouquet evokes

A highly perfumed bouquet evokes ripe red/blue fruits

intense and muscular medium weight plus flavors that possess very fine power and only a touch of backend rusticity on the mouth coating and impressively long finish

The 2010 was aged in cask for 18 months

and you'll notice some of the tightly polished and glossy tannins that are associated with this area

round and generously proportioned medium weight flavors that seem as though there might be a certain heaviness yet the citrus-tinged acidity manages to save the balance

Marques Murrieta, Rioja Dalmau Reserve Vintage:2004 A highly perfumed bouquet evokes(this wine was reviewed in July 2008 and is a library release, with a price to match) Deep ruby. Potent cassis and blueberry aromas show excellent clarity and lift, and cigar box, licorice and vanilla notes add complexity. Supple, broad and appealingly sweet, offering concentrated dark berry, cola, vanilla and peppery spice flavors and a smoky quality that emerges on the back half. Finishes long and smooth, featuring slow building tannins and
