Vintage 2016

SPAIN 2016 will be remembered for the piles of grapes thrown to the ground in Rioja. Our most renowned wine region, as well as Navarra and most appellations in Castilla y León, registered very high yields in sharp contrast with Mediterranean wine regions where drought led to below-average production levels.

Written Notes

Dalmau 2016 is a wine that is traditionally made with Tempranillo with some Cabernet Sauvignon and Graciano (very much in the traditional style of La Rioja in its aging).

In the visual phase of the tasting, it is a wine that, in a still glass, leaves us with a garnet red color, with a medium-high layer, very clean and bright.

This Dalmau 2016, presents a very intense nose in a still glass, in which you can distinguish the presence of Cabernet, black fruit somewhat stewed and liquorice, spices, coconut, vanilla. Once we shake it, menthol, toasted, chocolate... A 10.

In its tasting in the mouth is a wine that leaves us an entry that is soft, elegant, giving way to a marked acidity that makes you salivate. It asks for more and more.... Enveloping and long. Fine and polished tannins. A truly great wine.

A wine that deserves the rating of Exceptional with a score of 95 points.
