The Thief

Alvaro Palacios Finca Dofi 2023

Alvaro Palacios Finca Dofi 2023

This is a single vineyard with an average vine age of 20 years. One of the first 5 great "clos" that catapulted the Priorat to fame.


The 2023 Finca Dofí was still not bottled, like a few of the 2023s. It comes from the 12.5-hectare vineyard that names the wine, which extends across three different parajes, or lieu-dits, from Gratallops. The vines were planted 20 years ago on slopes and terraces, and in 2023, it delivered 95% Garnacha and 5% Cariñena that fermented with part of uncrushed grapes in oak vats with indigenous yeasts and had a 36-day maceration. It matured in oval oak foudres and large barrels for 15 months. When I tasted it last year, it surprised me because of it's floral and perfumed profile. It continues the same, a character that has grown in the last few years, floral, aromatic and elegant, very clean and precise. - 96pts Wine Advocate


Aromas of moss, ripe red cherries and touches of fine herbs and pink peppercorns. Medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins in a sandy texture. Slightly chewy. Juicy, nicely fluid and bright in the long, structured finish. Drink from 2026. - 94pts James Suckling
