Marqués de Murrieta Dalmau Reserva 2019

This wine has an enticing bouquet of blackberry, black cherry, violet and clove. Dark berry flavors transition to the palate and are joined by notes of dark chocolate, coffee bean, lavender, anisette and a touch of butterscotch. Polished tannins glide into a lengthy spice- and floral-laced finish. Cellar Selection. [Enjoy through early 2030s.] Score – 98. (Mike DeSimone, Wine Enthusiast, July 1, 2023)
