Alles über Dominus Estate Estate 2014 0.75 L Flasche 2014

- 99 Punkte FALSTAFF: Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, dezente Randaufhellung. Attraktive schwarze Frucht, unterlegt mit Gewürzen und Nuancen von reifen Kirschen, etwas Nougat, zarter ätherischer Touch. Kraftvoll, straff, süßes schwarzes Beerenkonfit, präsente, tragende Tannine, mineralische Nuancen im Abgang, schokoladige Nuancen im Finale, große Länge. Hier sollte man sich noch in Geduld üben.
- 98 Punkte The Wine Palate: A blend of 86 Cabernet Sauvignon, 7 Cabernet Franc, and 7 Petit Verdot, the 2014 Dominus is deep garnet in color. It waltzes out with flamboyant notes of blackcurrant jelly, baked plums, and boysenberry preserves, leading to suggestions of menthol, cast-iron pan, smoked meats, and cloves. The full-bodied palate is dense, muscular, and still very youthful, framed by ripe, grainy tannins and plenty of freshness, finishing long and earthy. 2023-2042.
- 98 Punkte JAMES SUCKLING: Loads of dark tobacco aromas with blackcurrants and black olives. Boysenberries, too. Full to medium body, ultra-fine tannins and lots of flavors of smoke, dried roasted chillis, black truffles, mushrooms and fruit. Bright acidity on the finish. Sexy and subtle austerity. Alluring. Very approachable now but better in 2021.
- 98 Punkte The Wine Independent: 2023-2042
- 97 Punkte Parkers WINE ADVOCATE The 2014s, where the production of Napanook was only 2,200 cases and Dominus slightly more than the 2015 at 4,000 cases, was another early harvest, although somewhat later than 2015. The 2014 Dominus, which is 86 Cabernet Sauvignon, 7 Cabernet Franc and 7 Petit Verdot really struts its stuff. Moueixs belief in dry farming seems to be paying off with stronger and stronger vintages, each successive year, and the 2014 is a sexy, opulent, layered, multidimensional wine with notes of red and blackcurrant, cedar wood, tobacco leaf , spice box and licorice. The color is a dense plumrubypurple, much like the Napanook. This is a beauty that is already drinking gorgeously as most 2014s are and will continue to evolve for 25 or so years.
- Editor's Choice WINE ENTHUSIAST: From a beautiful vintage on the relatively cooler end of the valley, this wine combines 89 Cabernet Sauvignon with 7 Petit Verdot and 4 Cabernet Franc. Cedar, herb and savory sage open into a strong element of forest floor and rose garden. Tight firm tannin wrap around a robust ripeness that finds balance in accompanying acidity. Enjoy from 20242034.
- 96+ Punkte VINOUS Antonio Galloni: The 2014 Dominus is endowed with tons of depth, power and muscle. Black cherry, plum, smoke, menthol, licorice, chocolate, dried herbs and dark spices are all pushed forward. Deep, pliant and exquisitely layered, the 2014 possesses tons of concentration and mid-palate depth. Like so many wines in this vintage, the 2014 comes across as a hybrid of 2013 and 2012. I very much like the energy and focus in this wine. This is a fabulous wine in every way. With time in the glass, the flavors gain in brightness and focus. There is certainly much to look forward to.
- 95 Punkte DECANTER: An initially reticent bouquet opens in the decanter and glass to reveal notes of blackberry, rich spice, tobacco leaf, elderberry and lily pollen. On the palate, fine, powdery tannins frame an elegant, deep wine with a lovely core of cool fruit. This will require some time in the cellar to reveal all its potential. ;
