Bewertungen

  Jancis Robinson
  Straddles the Napa-Bordeaux horse, with well-ripened, dark cherry fruit and sweet vanillin oak melding with dusty herbs, forest floor, cedar and tobacco notes. Marvelous concentration and depth; firmly tannic, yet also generous. Could be Christian Moueix’s best Dominus."

  The Wine Advocate
  Like so many 2004s, the 2004 Dominus is a full-bodied wine showing brilliantly at age ten, with loads of complex cedar, kirsch, Christmas fruitcake, black currants and spice box. It has a creamy, opulent texture, but remains light on its feet. This sexy wine is showing exceptionally well and is best drunk over the next 10-15 years. Not one of the longest-lived wines from Dominus, but it is certainly at a wonderful point in its evolution right now."

  Falstaff
  Dunkles Rubingranat, zarter Ockerrand. Zart speckige Frucht, angenehme Kräuterwürze, feine Röstaromen. Dicht am Gaumen, süße Textur, feines Milchkaramell, elegant und rund, bereits balanciert, stoffiger Abgang, dunkle Beerenfrucht im Nachhall, ein kleines Monster mit guter Zukunftsperspektive."

  Wine Spectator
  This is fleshed-out, engagingly seductive, creamy-textured and rich in flavor, with purity, focus and depth, made special by supple, graceful nuances. Long, intricate and delicate on the finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. -- 2004 California Cabernet blind retrospective (August 2014). Drink now through 2022. 5,600 cases made."

  The Wine Cellar Insider
  Perfect with grilled Flannery burger blends, the wine is soft, fat, round and lush, with lots of chocolate covered blackberries, earth, sweet jam and black cherry notes. This is drinking in a very good place at 10 years of age."
