Description

Chateau Le Dome 2009
St. Emilion
3lscl
Bottle (12)


"One of the most distinctive wines made in Bordeaux, Le Dome has one of the highest percentages of Cabernet Franc of any claret I can think of. Composed of 80% Cabernet Franc and 20% Merlot, it exhibits a certain delicacy and elegance (due to the Cabernet Franc component) in addition to resounding power, concentration, depth and multidimensional personality. Black/purple to the rim, it offers strikingly intense notes of spring flowers, raspberries, mulberries and wood smoke, medium to full body, sweet tannin and a cunning intensity and texture that suggest finesse and delicacy. However, the wine’s richness, length and lingering depth build incrementally in this exceptional St.-Emilion. It will be drinkable in 4-5 years and should age for two decades or more. This is Jonathan Malthus’ finest wine to date." (99 pts. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, Dec. 2011)


Estimate: $1,500 - $2,000.

Shipping Restriction: Please note that we cannot ship to addresses in Mississippi, so please bid accordingly.
