Dominus 1999

Napa Valley, California, United StatesThe 99 Dominus has a beautiful deep crimson colour. The nose is an intense mix of pepper, waxy saddle leather, blackberry jam, cassis and spicy cardamom flecked with vanilla notes. Certainly riper than the 1998 with spicy, earthy, licorice, vanilla, blackberry flavours and the taste of cedar, olives and leather in the finish. Fine richness and balance with a persistent cinnamon, vanilla/toffee aftertaste. An exceptional wine that will age well.Tasted: 22 January 2003Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
