The Doix family originates from Poboleda and has been in the winemaking business in the region for the last 5 generations. As far back as the late 1800’s the property has been recognized by the quality of their vinous fruit, but it wasn’t until 1998 when Ramon Llagostera took the reigns of the property that the wines began to experience worldwide fame.
"2005 Costers de Vinas Viejas is aged for 16 months in new French oak. The wine is a blend of 50% Carinena, 48% Garnacha, and 2% Merlot. Purple-colored, it has an other-worldly perfume of pain grille, grilled meat, spice cabinet, espresso, mineral, wild blueberry, and black cherry. This is followed by a powerful, masculine, intense Priorat with gobs of flavor, 8-10 years of cellaring potential, and a very long finish. It will be at its peak from 2018 to 2040. Score: 98." —Jay Miller, Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate, February 2008.
"This beautiful red is expressive, harmonious and intense. Black raspberry and pomegranate flavors are juicy and focused, backed by vanilla, nutmeg, anise and mountain herbs. Elegant on the palate, this drives through the finish with power and length. Drink now through 2020. Score: 95" —TM, December 15, 2007, Wine Spectator.
