Dominus Estate 2007

Posted by Unknown Wednesday, November 10, 2010 7:28 PM

The following is a description of an amazing wine I've had before and want to remember for future reference.  It's pricey but if you have the chance to try it, you'll not be disappointed!

98 points - Robert Parker, 94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Petit Verdot.  A prodigious example of Dominus, the 2007 represents a hypothetical blend of a Pomerol, Pauillac, and a Napa Cabernet Sauvignon. Deep ruby/purple-colored with a sweet nose of incense, cedar wood, black currants, black cherries, licorice, and a subtle hint of roasted herbs, it is an expansive, savory, opulent wine with a full-bodied mouthfeel, silky tannins, and sensational concentration. A legend in the making, it should evolve for 25-30 years, possibly longer given the fact that his vintages from the early eighties are still going strong, and the wines today are better made given Moueix's Napa experience and the estate winery he did not have 25 years ago.
