| Description: | 1994 Dominus Estate Proprietary Red - 99 Pts!. Wine Spectator #14 Top 100 Wines 1997 Christian Moueix and his talented winemaking team continue to rewrite the definition of a Napa Valley reference point wine. I have had a difficult time keeping the corks in my bottles of 1994 Dominus. Eight-thousand cases were produced from a blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon 14% Cabernet Franc 12% Merlot and 4% Petit Verdot. In this vintage 174 days passed between bud break and the harvest a remarkable period of time for any wine region in the world. The 1994 is a strikingly thick compellingly rich wine with the texture of a great Pomerol despite being made primarily from Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine exhibits a dense purple color and an incredibly fragrant nose of jammy black fruits spice smoke and loamy truffle-like scents. In the mouth it is full-bodied with thrilling levels of extract and richness but no sense of heaviness or harshness. This seamless Dominus possesses no hard edges as its acidity tannin and alcohol are beautifully meshed with copious quantities of ripe fruit. This wine offers early drinking yet has the potential to last for 30+ years. Rp |
