Really incredible. One of the reference points for the vintage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVinous 97:\u003c\/strong\u003e The 2018 Dominus is wild and exotic from the first taste. Lifted aromatics make a strong opening impression. There is something exuberant about the 2018 that is hard to describe. The 2018 is not a huge Dominus, nor is it massively structured, but the intensity of the flavors is remarkable just the same. Dark raspberry, spice, leather and cedar are some of the many notes that open over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDecanter 97:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ripe blackcurrant and vegetal aromas of tomato leaves and aubergine. So distinguished on the nose with discreet notes of cassis, tertiary spicy aromas and that earthy undertone. A full-bodied and long red wine with fine fruit tannins and extra layers of texture from oak ageing. A classic style of a Napa Cabernet Sauvignon blend. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e2019\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWine Advocate 98:\u003c\/strong\u003e The 2019 Dominus is blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Petit Verdot and 4% Cabernet Franc, aged in 40% new French oak. Impressively dark-hued in the glass, it yields scents of cherries and cassis on the nose—or is it black cherries and redcurrants? Subtle notes of mocha, pencil shavings and almost Graves-like earthiness wind through the concentrated, medium to full-bodied palate, giving it a sense of savory gravitas, while the finish is silky and long, leaving a lingering residue of soft tannins and mouthwatering freshness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJames Suckling 98:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lots of crushed stone, lead pencil and licorice aromas that are extremely aromatic and bright. Black cherries, cloves and purple fruit, too. Full body and a round and ripe center-palate with a juicy interior. It opens at the end with a savory and juicy finish. Layered and beautiful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVinous 98:\u003c\/strong\u003e The 2019 Dominus is shockingly primary. A wine of tremendous density and power, the 2019 is also a wine for readers who can be patient, as it won't be ready to drink for another 10-15 years! Dark fruit, leather, tobacco, incense, dried herbs and scorched earth lend striking complexity. The 2019 is a huge wine that needs time to come into its own. This is impressive, to say the least.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e2020\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWine Advocate 95:\u003c\/strong\u003e An excellent wine, even if not a great Dominus, the 2020 Dominus delivers waves of dark fruit—think predominantly cassis. A blend of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc, it's full-bodied and richly textured, perhaps a bit warm and open-knit because of the summer's heat, but with a long, velvety finish attractively tinged with mocha and dark chocolate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJames Suckling 98:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aromas of blackcurrants, black cherries, hints of graphite, wet earth, and lavender. Sandalwood. Full-bodied with an impressive and refined structure that runs deep and vertical in the wine. Chewy. Hints of chocolate and hazelnut at the end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVinous 93:\u003c\/strong\u003e The 2020 Dominus is one of the wines of the vintage in this crazy year marked by drought and fires. There’s plenty of upfront richness and fruit, but the mid-palate and finish taper off faster than they would in a higherquality vintage. Here, too, the balance is notable, even if there is no escaping the reality that the 2020 is a relatively small scaled Dominus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDecanter 99:\u003c\/strong\u003e With a good decant, the compact, quiet bouquet of this 2020 Dominus begins to show off, exhibiting perfumed aromatics of dark-toned berry fruit, blood orange, and cocoa nibs. It boasts impressive staying power with a real depth of concentration of fruit. Long strands of velvety tannins are interwoven around pure and symphonic black-toned fruit, while bright and present acidity provides the kind of lift that makes the wine seem almost featherweight. A beautiful red florality envelops the finish. Winemaker Tod Mostero said that hours before the Glass Fire on 27 September, they had just brought in the last of their grapes. It's a good thing, too, because it's a splendid wine and deserves to share the spotlight with the best wines of the vintage. Aged 16-18 months in 40% new French oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e2021\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJames Suckling 99:\u003c\/strong\u003e The purity of the cabernet fruit is so enticing, with blackcurrant, rose petals, nettles and subtle graphite. Touches of terra cotta and licorice. Full-bodied with super integrated tannins that are wonderfully polished, giving a cashmere texture that is really luxurious to taste at this early stage. It is quenching and so delicious already. 95% cabernet sauvignon and 5% cabernet franc. Needs three to four years to come around but already a joy to taste. Try after 2027.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVinous 98:\u003c\/strong\u003e The 2021 Dominus is a powerful, tightly-coiled wine that is holding back quite a bit of reserve. There's real depth and resonance waiting to emerge as the wine matures. Floral overtones and bright acids confer energy to a core of red\/bluish fruits. Readers will find a Dominus built more on linear precision rather than opulence. It is hugely impressive in this tasting, with a long chalky finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDecanter 100:\u003c\/strong\u003e Superbly aromatic, polished, and balanced. Tannins are plump, pliant, and extremely long, with a beautiful velvety quality. Ripe blackberry, spiced plums, and black cherry fruits are super-expressive and imbued with this spicebush note, which is a shrub bush that grows near the vineyard and, when crushed in the palm of your hand in the thick of summer, reveals a high-toned minty-citrusy note, which is very present on the palate. The minerality is perfectly expressed as iron and stone, and the finish is exceedingly long, nuanced by mocha, loamy earth, and wildflowers, and resolves with tremendous freshness. Just splendid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e2023\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVinous 96:\u003c\/strong\u003e The 2023 Dominus is a very pretty, surprisingly open-knit wine from this estate. Soft contours wrap around a core of pliant red\/purplish fruit. Lavender, rose petal and gently spiced overtones caress the mid-palate and finish. I expect the 2023 will drink well with minimal cellaring, something that is rarely the case here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJeb Dunnuck 97:\u003c\/strong\u003e Based on 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Cabernet Franc, and 4% Petit Verdot and aged 20 months in 40% new French oak, the 2023 Dominus is absolutely gorgeous, with an incredible level of purity and refinement. Cassis, graphite, crushed stone, melted crayons, and floral nuances all define the aromatics. It's medium to full-bodied, with seamless, refined elegance, ultra-fine tannins, beautiful mid-palate depth, and outstanding length. This more charming, forward, and seductive style of Dominus will offer incredible appeal over the next 20-25 years or more\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dominus Estate","offers":[{"title":"2023 *Arriving Q4 2026","offer_id":52128207831362,"sku":"USA250554","price":318.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2013","offer_id":50261162393922,"sku":"USA250500","price":838.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2018","offer_id":49911777427778,"sku":"USA250405","price":520.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2019","offer_id":49911785292098,"sku":"USA250451","price":480.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2020","offer_id":49911785357634,"sku":"USA250495","price":480.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2021","offer_id":50261169897794,"sku":"USA250516","price":480.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0700\/2872\/2498\/files\/dominus_napa_green.png?v=1766036862"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0700\/2872\/2498\/collections\/American_Wines_Banner_1.png?v=1782280215","url":"https:\/\/www.grandvin.com.sg\/collections\/celebrate-250-years-of-independence-with-usa-wines.oembed","provider":"Grand Vin Pte Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
