The superb, backward 1994 Clos Dofi requires 3-5 years of cellaring. The color is a dense saturated purple, and the nose offers up black currant, raspberry, and kirsch aromas intermixed with vanillin and minerals. Tannic and medium-bodied, with exquisite ripeness and overall equilibrium, this powerful wine should be at its best between 2002-2016. Importer: The Rare Wine Co., Sonoma, CA; tel. (800) 999-4342.

A full-bodied Spanish red that attacks the palate with firm tannins and lively acidity, yet there's plenty of raspberry, blackberry and licorice flavors beneath and the finish is long and clean (and alcoholic). This dry red has the power and profile of a young vintage Port and needs until 2000 to show best. 1,165 cases made.??–TM??Region: Spain / Priorat Select to Add
