Álvaro says that Finca Dofí “es muy sexy” this vintage and he is not wrong; this wine is pure, hedonistic pleasure. A gorgeous nose of pure blueberries and raspberries precedes fine, pure aromas, reminiscent of a strawberry sorbet. There is a sweet and luscious feel to this – but all is perfectly balanced via a stony mineral backbone.
The palate is sweet and fine, like summer pudding but with a poised, fine edge. It is gorgeously rounded and gloriously vibrant at the same time. The tannins drift down like gentle flakes of chalk and then dissipate immediately on the long, sweet, ripe, yet paradoxically wet-stone, fresh finish. Amazing. Drink 2025 to 2037.
