Deep purple with slight orange aura. High alcohol at 14.5%. Cassis, leather, clay on the nose. Flavours of dark plum, cigar, and cassis. Peppery and savoury. Medium body with cigar length. Refined and soft tannins. Give me a steak! AU$40 from Dan Murphy — a year ago

Initial aromas of cedar box, fruit and nut chocolate and a herbal nuance. With air a note of violet after about 2 hours. On the medium to full bodied palate absolutely fluid and seamless with that berry and dark chocolate note but largely restrained. Such perfect balance that nothing really jumps out. From my limited experience with Napa Valley Cabernets I have always thought that Dominus is the most Bordeaux like of these Cabs. Not surprising when you know the owner Christian Moueix is the owner of Petrus and other right bank icons. Linda Murphy for Jancis said “Could be Christian Moueix’s best Dominus.” — 4 years ago
