Real good!!
May 23rd, 2018A benchmark for Napa’s version of Bordeaux. Oiled leather, blackberry pie, white pepper on the nose. Soy sauce and savory notes in the finish. First class.

Dec 23rd, 2017Wine of the night from our @charlescomm team dinner chez moi. Black cherry, dark cocoa, cigar leaf & gamey, bloody aromas. Great acidity and firm tannins. Drinking perfectly. Personality: Mads Mikkelsen in After The Wedding

Sep 25th, 2016I have always thought Dominus is the most left bank style for a new world Cabernet available. This 1999 was very restrained for a Napa Valley Cab blend - more savoury than fruit driven with cedar, herbs and some blackcurrant. Always a favourite of mine. Superb French wine making directed by the Moueix family, owners of Petrus.
