Alvaro Palacios 'FINCA DOFI' Priorat
| Vintage: | 2021 |

| Description: | Wine Advocate 96-98 Points - "The more backward of the 2021s was the 2021 Finca Dof, which was very primary and smelled almost like the fermentation vessels, and it took time in the glass to open up. The blend is higher in Garnacha and they couldn't use the Picapoll, as it didn't work well that cool year, so it's 90% Garnacha, 9% Cariena and 1% white grapes. It achieved 14.5% alcohol but kept better freshness than in 2020, a constant in the 2021 wines. Very promising.". James Suckling 96 Points - " Scented, delineated nose but has depth, too. It effuses wet-stone minerality that gives a thin overlay to the red and blue berries. Some spices, briar and hibiscus, too. Juicy and medium- to full-bodied on the palate, which is a little more vertical and powerful than many of Palacios reds, highlighted by real tension and tautness here. Goes on and on. " |
