96+ Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:  The single-vineyard 2024 Finca Dofí was produced exclusively with Garnacha, with native fermentation and 36 days of maceration. It matured in oval foudres and large barrels for 13 months. The wine comes in at 14.3% alcohol, a pH of 3.53 and 4.92 grams of acidity. It started quite closed and shy, more than the others, and opened up slowly. It follows the path of elegance and refinement from the last few years, with a nose of violet pastille, a meaty twist and is faintly smoky in the Rhône style, with weight, volume, great balance and finesse. It was a very complete year with very fine-grained tannins. Dofí has been on a roll for a number of years, and 2024 is no different.

97-98 Points - Jeb Dunnuck:  A pure Garnacha, the barrel sample of 2024 Finca Dofi shows profound earthiness, with complementary undertones of graphite, gravel, and pencil lead. Expansive on the palate, it widens on the midpalate to a point of roundedness and full-bodied weight, never losing a sense of the profound. But what you’ll remember most is that it tastes of spring, bursting in orange blossom, almond, tangerine, and beeswax. Flavors of blood orange make it all the more memorable and fresh, full of tension and yet velvety, too. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.
