"Finca Dofi 2014 is a blend of around 94% Grenache and 6% Carignan from a parcel in Gratallops called Finca Dofi. [...] It's terribly vibrant, with silkiness and purity, concise but at the same time ripe. The wood is very coated and there's none of the volatility some associate with Priorat; the perfumes are clearly reminiscent of older Dofi vintages, albeit with a much rounder texture. Once again, acidity provides punch and depth. The finish is tasty and very mineral. It resembles the 2013. A superb vintage of Dofi. Elegance in the bottle.
