  The Wine Advocate
  The 2003 Dominus is a blend of 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot (14.1% alcohol). Remarkably, it is the 20th vintage for Christian Moueix. Always a Bordeaux-inspired wine with restraint yet substance as well as a textured richness, the 2003 exhibits a deep plum/ruby/purple color, a creamy, opulent texture, no hard edges, and a wonderful sweetness of foresty, black currant and cherry fruit mixed with underbrush and hints of Chinese black tea. Well-proportioned and full-bodied, yet never over-stated or out of balance, this is another beauty from Moueix. Drink it over the next 15+ years."

  Kräftiges Rubingranat. Rauchige Nuancen, mit feiner rotbeeriger Frucht unterlegt, nach Weichselkirschen, zart florale Noten. Seidig am Gaumen, elegant, feine Tannine, mineralischer Touch, tolle Extraktsüße im Abgang, weiche, etwas marmeladige Frucht, noch dominiert der Alkohol das Finale etwas."

  Warm, sweet nose in mid evolution. A little dry and tarry on the and no great concentration or complexity. Reasonably gentle and easy but it's difficult to see it becoming particularly nuanced. Clean finish."

  Wine Enthusiast
  The grapes are from the estate in Yountville, just south of Oakville, and young Dominus always seems tight and austere. So it is here. Astringent tannins, youthful acids and new oak are upfront, raising the question of ageability. It's a roll of the dice. The wine is balanced and harmonious, but aggressive now."

  Wine Spectator
  Disappointingly dry and austere. A streak of leather mingles with dried currant, anise and sage flavors. Dry, minerally aftertaste. Tasted three times, with consistent notes and scores. Drink now. 5,600 cases made."
