Community Tasting Note

flawed
Wednesday, April 10, 2024 - Special add on from the Somm from a party downstairs left over. Served blind… 😱 what is this? High octane Amarone?!?
Really not my style, long alcoholic wine, overripe. Was onto Australia…
When he lifted Magnum Dominus, super disappointing
Cooking wine, took only a small zip
I actually think this bottle got heat somewhere and can’t imagine it to be the normal condition.

I have always loved the ‘99 Dominus because it was supremely balanced and old-school in nature.It needs air in a decanter but shouldn’t deem over ripe or alcoholic based on my experience. I once did a vertical of 1990-2001, after which I bought 6 bottles and 2 magnums. 3 hours in a decanter in 2016 and it was beautiful. Other bottles were great after 24 hours. Shame about the bottle you tasted.
