Domus Aurea
Upper Maipo Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
An aromatic-Cab lover's dream. Eucalyptus, tobacco, dark dark fruits, and well integrated oak. The palate matches, and the mouthfeel feels like any Napa Cab of high pedigree.

Nov 2nd, 2016Very much channeling the right bank - deep mineral and menthol hewn fruit that's really quite pretty.

May 12th, 2016Great SA c/s, tight as can be still for an 08, lots of pepper, black fruits, tar. Livened up after some time open.

Jan 11th, 2015A good wine not too strong yet missing some years. Easy to drink since it is lacking the depth of a mature chilean wine

Aug 22nd, 2018perfect Cab for a filet. Punches above its weight. $45 at Costco, drinks like Silver Oak or any of those big boys.

Tasted 6/4/18 at Garden By The Bay. Brought by Teresa Foo, a gift from Philip Ng who bought the entire 2005 vintage.
It has a very strong Bordeaux flavour, right bank flavour

A fantastic cab I had over the weekend. Incredibly tight and closed up at first. After 45mins. or so, it really opened up. Big pruny fruit, a slight hint of mint, dried tobacco leaves, and some fresh leather. Paired excellently with steak.
