Almost 9 years old and still kicking… Fabulous maraschino, cherry with a dusting of herbs. Good structure. Ironically, at its age, it did not hold up to the richness of a dense filet at dinner. not enough tannin to fight through. But absolutely delicious on its own. So this rating would be 94 points as a Sipper and 90 when put with serious protein… Age adjusted rating — a month ago

Extreme value.
BF that knows wine: There are wines that you’d only date and there are wines you’d want a relationship with and this is a relationship wine.
Not too fussy, very consistent, medium bodied but with some spice. Financial goals are aligned. Not a trophy wife wine - but someone you’d be proud to introduce to your friends .

Me: 👀 idk what that’s description is about bc I’m in this relationship and those characteristics don’t describe me. But my thoughts: I’d buy again and it pairs well with White Lotus. I’m going to bring it to my “2023 intention setting dinner” with a group of girlfriends. Will update if it pairs well with intentions. — 3 years ago

NO pseudo academic vino-babble; just a great wine and among the most enjoyable domestic wine in a very long time shared with spouse and friends on the balcony of Alfond Inn in Winter Park, FL. — 4 years ago

I had this a week ago but didn’t take any notes at all at a friends tasting last Sunday afternoon. Have always been a huge fan of Dominus and this was from an exceptional vintage. I recall an excellent left bank Cabernet dominant style but presented as a Napa style - rich and plush but not overly so. Thoroughly enjoyable. — 9 months ago

No notes. Week of hosting friends at home. Superb vinho Verde with great value, nice minerality and pureness of the acid backbone. Will recommend 👍🏻 — 2 years ago

At an old friends place in Scarborough on Moreton Bay having a wonderful seafood meal. The nose is textbook Art Series with ripe grapefruit, citrus and pear Toasty notes. The palate shows that rich oak is resolving with the powerful fruit - profound intensity which is a great match with the mornay seafood. Great persistence and length in this 3rd of 6. Hope I have the patience to have just one each year until 2024. — 4 years ago

This 49 years old LLC was in the first sniff a bit dull, but then miraculously this grand master of BDX stood up and showed its pure class. Ok it’s not a young bastard but what a pleasure to drink with friends. — a year ago

Kept in the cellar for a while and well worth the wait. Beautiful nose full of dark blue fruits and earth tones. Big wine with complex structure and finish for days. Great bottle of wine to share with friends for the season premier of Yellowstone!! — 3 years ago
