Alvaro Palacios 2009 Finca Dofi

The 2009 Finca Dofi is a block buster wine for Palacios, always known for producing high quality wines, this has raised the bar again. A blend of Grenacha, Cabernet, Syrah and Merlot, this is a powerful wine, that has grace and manners. Fruit reminds of black cherry and raspberry, leading to notes of spice, coffee, wild flowers, anise, tobacco and cedar. While the fruit is big and ripe, the tannins are refined and gentle with a long, long finish. Should age well for 20 + years. 95+ pts. Robert Parker, Jr. $69.99
