  Really top wine but nothing to see with the future legendary 2018 or the great 2019

  Premiere Napa Valley; 2/22/2023-3/25/2023 (Napa, California): A very simple straight forward Cabernet, nothing right, nothing wrong neither. This showed notes of dark ripe fruit, blackcurrant, cassis, drying tannins, very little in the way of mouth feel, quite savoury on the mid palate finishing short. Lacking personality.
  
  This is the second recent vintage of Dominus I have tasted and left felted puzzled. Will this improve in 20+ years? Possibly, but I can't help but feel confused by the high scores and what I have recently tasted. It is possible the wine was not properly prepared, however I can only judge the wine on its presentation.
