Tasting Notes | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Medium to deep garnet colour. Dried cherry, mulberry, loam, espresso and tobacco aromas with a hint of dried mint. On the palate a savoury / meaty character comes through. A firm backbone of high acidity and a medium+ level of firm tannins give good structure. Medium to full bodied, very long finish. Score: 91 Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com 01 May 2010 |

The firm, austere, large-scaled 1999 Dominus (7,000 cases) is a blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Cabernet Franc, 9% Merlot, and 3% Petit Verdot that spent 16-18 months in 40% new French oak. It exhibits an attractive perfume of roasted herbs, coffee, tobacco, and sweet black cherries and plums, medium body, noticeable tannin, and a ripe, austere personality. It will drink well for 15+ years. Score: 88 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2002-2017 31 August 2002 |
