Critic Ratings

Wine Enthusiast Review - Rated 98:

Wine Enthusiast highlights an enticing bouquet of blackberry, black cherry, violet, and clove in the 2019 Dalmau. Dark berries continue on the palate with dark chocolate, coffee bean, lavender, anisette, and a subtle touch of butterscotch. Polished tannins glide into a long finish marked by spice and floral detail.

James Suckling Review - Rated 97:

James Suckling finds the 2019 Dalmau deep and intense yet distinctly mineral, with blackberry, blueberry, black olive, pepper, and lemon peel. Graphite, cocoa, incense, and cedar add complexity to a juicy, medium- to full-bodied palate with energetic fruit. The finish is exceptionally long, joining modern precision with a traditional Rioja character.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate Review - Rated 95:

Wine Advocate calls the 2019 Dalmau a major stylistic step toward greater freshness and elegance. The blend of Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Graciano is powerful but refined, with highly integrated varieties and fine, polished tannins. The review considers it potentially the finest Dalmau yet produced and a defining wine of the estate's new era.
