1987 Dominus Estate

Community Tasting Note

93 Points

Wednesday, July 26, 2023 - A few epic bottles in July: This pours deep ruby in the glass, with light bricking. The initial impression is this is quite deep, rich and ripe. The nose shows blackberry, cassis, brown sugar, kirsch, graphite, lead pencil, celery seed, black licorice, and espresso. The palate is very deep and rich, loaded with blackberry, cassis, showing buried medium minus tannin and medium acid. The finish comes across quite tarry with an aniseed character. I found this almost a tad too dark and ripe, lacking the breadth and complexity of my favourite Dominus. Worth noting that the two other experienced tasters I drank this with liked this significantly more than me.
