Dominus Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend

Dominus Estate 1983

Maybe the best bottle of this woke Ive ever had. Marvelous and actually held its own against the 59 Haut Brion.

Inaugural vintage of Dominus, still going strong

Bdx like and very good

Special stuff.

I’m not sure if it’s the age, but the balance of this ‘83 is quite amazing. The fruit may be slight past it’s prime but it’s kind of like drinking velvet, if velvet was a liquid. There’s a tiny bite at the end that’s a bit surprising.

1st vintage for Dominus and showed very youthful but next to the 91 this lacked the weight, structure and finish.

Delicious wine well balanced. Drinking like an aged first growth Bordeaux

Very nice.

Amazing bottle at 11 Madison.
