| Description: | This Dominus 1996 is of the Proprietary Red varietal and was produced by the Dominus winery in the Napa region of Usa. It is a 1996 vintage and is available from the Wine Barrel Plus in a 750 mL bottle. In Asia May 2010 Lisa Perrotti-Brown 95 Medium garnet-brick colour. Complex, evolved aromas of black olive, dried cherries, bacon fat, graphic, balsamic, soy and a touch of truffle. The palate is finely knit with crisp acidity and a medium level of very fine tannins pulling together fruit a well balanced amount of earthy / savoury fruit. Very long finish. Wine Advocate #120 Dec 1998 Robert Parker 95 The 1996 Dominus, a blend of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc, 4% Merlot, and 4% Petit Verdot, tips the scales at 14.2% alcohol. Although this offering lacks the power, intensity, and compelling characteristics of the 1991 and 1994, it is not far off the pace of those two monumental wines. A super nose of roasted coffee, chocolate, dried herbs, black fruits and kirsch is both intense and persuasive. The wine displays terrific richness, medium to full body, low acidity, a succulent, opulent texture, and superb purity. This beautifully made 1996 is one of the few wines that has successfully tamed the vintage's elevated tannin level. It should be relatively drinkable upon its release, yet evolve nicely for two decades. Impressive! Dominus's production has grown to approximately 8,000 cases of their flagship wine, Dominus. Tel. (707) 944-8954; Fax (707) 944-0547 This impressive California Cabernet blend is Bordeaux-like in style, ripe and rich in flavor, with complex currant, earth, cherry and berry accented by plenty of spicy, peppery notes, and finishes with polished tannins. Tasted twice, with consistent notes.Best now. (8000 cases produced) |
