2002 Dominus Estate

Community Tasting Note

Likes this wine:

98 Points

Tuesday, July 4, 2023 - 2002 Dominus Estate. Despite being the oldest napa wine I've had in the last couple of months, this may have been the freshest/youngest wine of the whole lot. This wine could easily rest five more years and not miss a beat. Very austere and Bordeaux at times. I think I even commented, "You can take the maker out of France, but you can't take the France out of the maker." The only tip off to me was the higher fruit character and lack of the cedar/leather/cigar box note that would be present in a true left bank wine. 97-98+

    I’ve done it numerous times.
    Cheers!
