Heiner Lobenberg om:
Dominus 2013

100
/100

En af de mest imponerende vine i den nye verden og på nogle måder atypisk for Californien. Maskulin og overdådig fyldig, rig på ekstrakt, utrolig intens sort frugt, tjære, tobak, fedt, lakrids, espresso, i en blindsmagning kommer man uvilkårligt til at tænke på en massiv Pomerol. En stor vin, en absolut legende.

Parker om: Dominus

The 2015 Dominus is a blockbuster. A blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot (note that no Merlot is used at Dominus Estate, an irony, considering Moueix is the king of Merlot in Pomerol and to a lesser extent St.-Emilion). This wine has incredibly rich, ripe and pure fruit, often suggestive of blueberries, black raspberries and cassis, intermixed with licorice and forest floor notes. A wine of great body, purity and richness, but the balance of a ballerina, this gorgeously lush, voluptuously textured Dominus should drink effortlessly when released and evolve 30 more years, as his older vintages are proving so well. 100/100

Suckling om: Dominus

The aromas to this are multidimensional and fascinating with black truffles, bark, cloves, black currants and citrus - even ginseng. Full-bodied, yet reserved and even austere with chewy and powerful tannins that remain polished and refined. The flavors are more umami and savory. Then there's forest fruits and red orange undertones. It lasts for minutes. A wine to age for a lifetime. It's an experience to taste this. A new classic showing its history and tradition as a source of the greatest wines ever from Napa. A wine to always enjoy. 100/100

Galloni om: Dominus

The 2013 Dominus overwhelms all the senses with its magnificent overall balance and towering intensity. Deep and nearly impenetrable in the glass, the 2013 boasts off the charts dry extract and overall power. Violets, smoke, black cherries, menthol, incense, crème de cassis and dark spices are some of the many signatures that take shape in the glass. Even better in bottle than it was in barrel, the 2013 is utterly magnificent. This is a remarkably vivid, nuanced wine considering its sheer size.

Wine Cellar Insider om: Dominus

Chocolate, mint, tobacco, and brooding dark berries create the perfume. Dense, full bodied, incredibly rich, yet the wine is so silky and elegant, it is impossible to stop drinking it. The biggest problem with this wine is that it’s not going to last. Well, to be more precise, once you open and start drinking it, this is so deceptively easy to drink, the bottle will be emptied much too soon. The wine was made from a blend of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Petit Verdot and 4% Cabernet Franc

Decanter om: Dominus

This is a beautifully balanced wine with an international appeal in a class of its own with undeniable quality. A wine so great hits you in the soul and supersedes any contextual notion of your own personal reaction. Pure and precise red and black currants aromas with fantastic earthy intensity and dried wildflower notes. Medium to full-bodied and plentiful, the range of expressive fruit shows a wine still holding onto its youth but finally inching into secondary territory, beginning to show what is in store for the long haul. Plenty of primary red and black fruit and a tremendous sense of its earthy-mineral expression imbued with a spine of racy, tart acidity with blood orange quality. The finish is exceedingly long and refined, balanced, balletic, mineral-driven, and floral, and resolves with crushed cocoa nibs and a kiss of minty freshness. Spectacular.

The Wine Independent om: Dominus

A blend of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Cabernet Franc, and 7% Petit Verdot, the 2013 Dominus is deep garnet in color. It needs a fair bit of swirling to bring out notes of black cherry preserves, crème de cassis, and blueberry jam, plus suggestions of mocha, cardamom, and fertile loam, with a hint of truffles. Full-bodied, the palate is still so, so tight, revealing tightly wound layers of black fruit, minerals, and spices, supported by a firm, grainy backbone, finishing with epic length. It still needs a good 5 years!
