TASTING NOTES:
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. Needs five or six years to soften.

A wonderfully pure version, with the cassis and plum reduction side taking the lead throughout. Refined and seductive, with a caressing feel as shades of warm earth show through on the finish. Very expressive and not nearly as tightly coiled as the ’18, ’16 and ’13, but a very impressive showing for the vintage. Cabernet Sauvignon with Cabernet Franc.

WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
A vivid expression of its unique site, Dominus is a profound and powerful wine, exemplifying purity. With articulated fruit and polished tannins, the wine has elegance, complexity, great length and improves with age.
