The luxury-priced 1999 Dalmau Reserva (2,000 cases produced) made primarily from Tempranillo, was aged 24 months in new French oak where it also experienced malolactic fermentation. It exhibits copious quantities of spicy new oak along with hints of lead pencil shavings, creme de cassis, vanilla, and cedar in its medium to full-bodied, concentrated personality. Although backward and tannic, it is an impressive effort that should be at its best between 2008-2025. Importer: William Grant & Sons, Edison, NJ; tel. (732) 225-9000

Plush and generous. Mouthfilling plum and blackberry flavors are backed by full, ripe tannins and notes of root beer and vanilla from oak. This red shows more exuberance than grace, but it's easy to like. Drink now through 2008. 1,750 cases made, 100 cases imported.??–TM??Region: Spain / Rioja Select to Add

This old-vines blend of mostly Tempranillo, Graciano and Cabernet Sauvignon is full of berry and cherry fruit. It comes on a lighter frame than some, with more raspberry and cherry on the palate than jam. For a new-age wine, it’s textbook in that it isn’t overdone. Chocolate, cherry and coffee carry the long finish.——M.S.(9/1/2004)—— 91
