Critic Ratings
Blackcurrant and black cherry aromas are joined by graphite, wet earth, lavender and sandalwood. The palate is full-bodied, deep and vertical, with a refined but chewy structure. Chocolate and hazelnut emerge on the finish, and additional bottle age should soften the wine.
Dense kirsch and linzer torte flavors lead into smoldering tobacco, leather, warm stone and licorice root. The back end is brooding and surprisingly reserved for the vintage. Its concentration and backward structure suggest that patience will be rewarded.
The 2020 Dominus delivers waves of dark cassis from a blend dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon with a small portion of Cabernet Franc. It is full-bodied and richly textured, showing the warmth and open-knit character of the growing season. A long, velvety finish carries mocha and dark chocolate notes.
