"Much less aromatic than the Dofi 1998. Some torrefaction on the nose but masses of extract and rigour on the palate. Long and well balanced with quite remarkable extract. Opened out to minerality on the nose.", Jancis Robinson

Priorat DOCa Alvaro Palacios L'Ermita

The wine

This Grenache and Carignan blend is produced from eighty-year-old and one-hundred-year-old vines with very low yields. The wine is matured in French oak for 16 months and released in small quantities (1400 bottles). It is incredibly silky, fluid and creamy but also full of energy. Keep in the cellar for a few years before drinking.
