2004 Alvaro Palacios Priorat Finca Dofi - Spain, Catalunya, Priorat (4/28/2007)
WIML92+?,WA95,NOWS

Tasted April 28, 2007 at an offline. Opened and decanted 3 hours before serving. Dark garnet color in the glass, clear hue throughout. Nose of black licorice, black berries and white pepper. Early on there was a touch of mint that disappeared. Later on there were some aromas of red currants. Flavors of black cherries, mixed berries, currants and Bing cherries. Light to medium acidity, medium to firm tannins, medium to full bodied. Considering the lengthy decant and it didn’t really start showing its’ stuff until around the 3 hour mark I’d definitely recommend holding at least 3-5 years myself. (92 pts.)
