Since establishing his Priorat-based winery in 1989 after a stint working at Château Pétrus, Alvaro Palacios has quickly come to be recognised as one of Spain’s greatest winemakers and with a focus on local varieties from exceptionally old, low-yielding vines, he is consistently crafting some of the country’s finest wines. Finca Dofi is mostly Grenache with a small amount of Cariñena from a plot in the village of Gratallops planted between 1900 and 1940 on a precipitous hillside with typical ‘llicorella’ slate soils. The 2014 is a wonderfully rich, silky and elegant wine with delicious purity of red fruits, subtle herbal nuances, ultra-fine tannins and a distinctive mineral-tinged finish.

Vinous
Dark, bright-rimmed ruby color. Displays a strikingly complex array of fresh dark fruits, pungent flowers and exotic spices on the nose, with a smoky mineral flourish emerging as the wine opens up. Deeply concentrated and sweet, offering surprisingly energetic boysenberry, cherry-cola and violet pastille flavors that are underscored by a suave mineral and baking spice note. Obviously rich but this sexy wine comes off as surprisingly elegant, with fine-grained tannins framing an extremely long, penetrating finish.Josh Raynolds1st April 2019
