Noteringar:
2008-03-10 10:39 IWC: By Josh Raynolds Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar (Issue #128, September/October 2006) (Alvaro Palacios Finca Dofi Priorat) ($70) Inky violet. Exotic, multi-faceted aromas of dark cherry, blackberry, licorice, violet, black pepper and graphite. Firm and structured, with chewy texture and powerful, concentrated red and dark fruit flavors tinged by minerals and succulent herbs. For a wine of such concentration this is elegant and poised. Shows great precision and energy on the long, spicy finish. 93 points
2008-03-10 10:39 WS: A solid red, with lovely aromas of mountain herbs, smoke and blackberry that give way to dense tannins that shadow plum, coffee and tobacco flavors. Best from 2009 through 2015. 250 cases imported. –TM
2008-03-10 10:39 WA: 2004 was a superb vintage in Priorat and the three entries from Alvaro Palacios are stunning. The 2004 Finca Dofi offers an upgrade. It is sourced from a single vineyard on the estate of which 60% is Grenache and the balance Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, and Carignan aged in 100% new French oak. Deeper in color than Les Terrasses, and more reticent aromatically, with coaxing, scents of toast and smoke, minerals, violets, blueberries, and chocolate emerge. Full-bodied and harmonious, there is an opulence to the fruit which is breathtaking. It should drink well for 10-15 or more years. Importer: The Rare Wine Co., Sonoma, CA; tel. (707) 996-4484
