Decanted for 3 hours and drank with dinner. Big balck fruit and lavender aromas with graphit, some spice and licorice. Opened up beautifully with black cherry, plum and grippy tannins with a 20-second mineral-laced blackberry finish.
Drank side by side a 2017 O’Shaughnessy Mt Veeder, and I must say that the O’Shaughnessy was much better. The Dominus had moderate aromas of red cherry, cedar and graphite. The palate was muted with black cherry and a bit smoky, soft tannins and virtually a 5-second finish.
