Description
Dominus Estate 1999owc
Bottle (6)
Xavier and Carolyn Valero built their collection bottle by bottle, purchasing directly from the California producers they most admired. Professionally stored in a climate-controlled facility, the wines have been impeccably preserved. This inaugural release showcases the Valeros’ passion for authenticity and excellence in California Cabernet.
"Medium to deep garnet colour. Dried cherry, mulberry, loam, espresso and tobacco aromas with a hint of dried mint. On the palate a savoury / meaty character comes through. A firm backbone of high acidity and a medium+ level of firm tannins give good structure. Medium to full bodied, very long finish." (91 pts. Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Advocate, May 2010)
“Medium red-ruby. Spicy red- and blackcurrant, plum, currant leaf and mocha on the claret-like nose. Dense and rich, with spicy red berry and lightly floral flavors nicely framed by harmonious acidity. Today one senses the wine's 13% cabernet franc component. Quite tightly coiled today; shows little sign of the roasted character shown by some '99s. Firmly tannic and very strong on the back end, with an almost medicinal austerity; very much a wine from small berries. This really needs at least seven or eight years of bottle aging; make sure to decant your bottle if you can't wait to pull the cork. Should ultimately merit a higher rating.” (91+ pts. Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2002)
