Alvaro Palacios 2003 L’Ermita Red (Priorat)
- $440
Super pricey but this is a knock-your-socks-off wine with a gorgeous bouquet that shows not even a hint of syrup or jam. The palate is like a nova; it bursts with plum, blackberry and cinnamon. No harshness, not too tannic, and splendid on the finish, where toast and chocolate appear and stick around for a long time. It’s 80% old-vines Garnacha and 20% Cabernet…

Alvaro Palacios 2003 Finca Dofí Red (Priorat)
- Editors' Choice
- $70
Round and lush, with immense fruit from the nose to the palate. Beautifully balanced, with sweet plum and berry flavors, a lash of smoke and a touch of pepper and thyme. There’s nothing raw or earthy about this wine; it’s opulent and pure, a testament to vineyard management and great winemaking in a tough year. Doesn’t even need much cellar time; drink from 2006–09…

Alvaro Palacios 2003 Les Terrasses Red (Priorat)
- $32
Intense and colorful; one of the most flavorful and sizable versions of Terrasses on record. Flavors of boysenberry, blackberry and plum sizzle, while the layered palate spreads out nicely upon airing. Everything about this Cariñena-dominated wine is solid and precise. A really nice taste of Priorat at a fairly affordable price. Imported by Rare Wine Company.
