Reviews

  • The Wine Spectator
    Rating: 95 (8/31/2024)
    A silky weightlessness and an overall finesse belies the pinpoint focus and tension in this vibrant red. A frame of taut, fine-grained tannins and bright acidity drive the vervy energy while providing a well-meshed, sculpted frame, with flavors of crushed raspberry, Earl Grey tea leaf and tar, plus hints of rose hip, vanilla and graphite that echo through the long finish. Garnacha and Samsó. Best from 2026 through 2040. 235 cases imported.

    It's bright and subtle, with great freshness and elegance, a new face of Dofí, multilayered and harmonious, fine-boned and with very elegant tannins. The strength here is the palate, which is seamless and with more depth.
