  Aktuell leider enttäuschend, dee Wein ist verschlossen und zeigt keine grosse Spannung. Relativ viele Tannine spürbar und damit eher hart und kantig Sich er 3-4 Stunden zu dekantieren oder noch besser den Wein weitere 5 Jahre ruhen lassen

  I was opening this with a cork pop, as I have done with hundreds of bottles, when it blew a hole in the side of the bottle...glass and wine all over the place...not a great experience with guests invited for dinner...other than a hole in the side of the bottle there was no other signs of damage...no other cracks or damage other than a very startled and upset host! Florida 2/24

  Extremely disappointing. I criticized the 2014 and 2015 for being simply concentrated and rich but uninteresting. This one did not even have that going for it. Those were fantastic compared to this. Took a very long time to open up and even then was not very open or full. I do not recommend this to anyone. Unfortunately I also bought it at a restaurant hence overpaid enormously, which is a big factor in my disappointment. (We took it home and aired it for hours.) But still this is the worst Dominus I ever had, the only one that did not impress at all. Of course conceivably it may be temporarily closed, and become excellent in 5 more years, but I would not gamble on that.

  Second time trying this wine and both times has been a disappointment especially when compared to Vintages like 2013, 2015 and 16 2018. There is some red fruits and muted aromas.
