Christian Moueix Dominus Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley

California

Napa Valley

The 2021 Dominus, 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc, is opaque purple-black in color. It needs a lot of coaxing to lure out scents of freshly crushed blackcurrants, blackberry preserves, stewed plums, and boysenberries giving way to subtle nuances of violets, licorice, and tar plus a touch of cedar in the background. The full-bodied palate is taut with densely laden, muscular black fruits framed by a firm grainy texture and well-played tension, finishing on a lingering ferrous note. A stunning vinous record of time and place, this is a 50-year+ Napa Cabernet to be experienced across generations. 3,700 cases were made.

Raske notater! Big & beautiful. Fanger essensen av den amerikanske drømmen i en flaske. En av de beste «Bordeaux-blend-som-ikke-er-fra-Bordeaux» jeg har smakt. Her har du i praksis alt det amerikanske kontinentet kunne tilby nybyggerne! Friskhet, struktur, balanse og harmoni - en virkelig nydelig vin med helt vanvittig lengde.
