Dominus 1998
Napa Valley, California, United StatesFirm peppery, barnyard and saddle leather notes mixed with cassis, and waxy floral aromas. Balanced and elegant with light, tight tannins. Nice cassis, blackberry, olive, waxy, vanilla flavours and some cedar, leather flavours in the finish. Well made with nice intensity and elegance for a 1998. One of the better California 98s.Tasted: 22 January 2003Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $85.00 | 750ml | Specialty |
