Pop and pour one small glass, initially already opening.
Decanted for 1.5 hour.
Body, intensity and finish all medium to medium plus.
Can be better compared to the other bottles of Dominus I had.

Opaque ruby red with pink rim. Blackcurrant, cassis, blackberry, blueberry, violet, dried spices, cedar and mild tobacco. Medium-full bodied, medium high acidity, medium high tannin, medium structure, medium-high alcohol and long finish. Concentrated yet elegant and silky.
Decanted an hour before consumption. Smooth texture and velvet on the palate. I was surprised by the gentleness as I had expected a massive, bold wine, which it was not.

there was a rather unpleasant grapefruit skin taste that left an astringent taste on the palate. Was hard to look past and seemed to be an issue with the bottle given my experience and the experience of others tasting with this wine.

Lovely, smooth and silky if quite subdued. Decanted and drank over two nights, though most was with Christmas dinner. Some tannins lurking, but the saline notes were very prominent at the finish.
