A very elegant wine from the Dominus team that contrasts with most wines from this generally opulent vintage. Opens with red fruit, raspberries and cherries, laced with mineral and savory notes before darker fruit, tobacco, blackcurrant, and rich earth flavors fill the palate. Very silky tannins, a medium body, and refreshing acidity. Composed of Cabernet Sauvignon with touches of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. A superbly balanced wine that’s tempting to drink now but best from 2029. – Jim Gordon, Executive Editor.
