Priorat DOCa DOCA Finca Dofi Alvaro Palacios 2012
The wine
This blend of Grenache and Carinyena is an example of a perfectly balanced wine. The nose unveils several layers of complexity, opening with spice and then developing dark fruit aromas (blackberry, blackcurrant). The palate is rich and concentrated with a superb tannin grain. Keep this wine in the cellar for five to twenty years.
