Robert Parker | RP94 - The 1997 Dominus a blend of 86.5% Cabernet Sauvignon 9% Cabernet Franc and 4.5% Merlot is showing fabulously well. With 14.1% alcohol and a pH that would make many New World oenologists shudder about 3.95 this wine is a fleshy silky-textured opulent wine with a gorgeous nose of roasted herbs coffee jammy black cherry and plum-like fruit. Asian spice licorice and blackberry and cherry notes with tobacco spice all add to this complex very involved yet gorgeously symmetrical Dominus. The wine is medium to full-bodied very concentrated and silky-textured. It is gorgeous to drink now but should age easily for 10-15 years. RP |
