Alvaro Palacios Finca Dofí 2022, Priorat

Since 1990 · worth the climb · blue note

Ever-evolving, the old-vines concierto that Alvaro Palacios has been conducting for near thirty-five years now continues to amaze in its integration of style and vintage variation.  Mostly Garnacha, with a bit of Cariñena, a smidge of Picapoll (for acidity) and a smattering of white grapes.  Partial whole cluster with native yeasts and a month-long maceration.  Intense, spicy, earthy, violets and licorice – a boom box of Priorat.
