Wine & Spirits – Joshua Greene – December 2011

DOMINUS 2008
93 Points

“A short crop of concentrated berries produced this grand vintage of Dominus, one that will need long aging to show its best. Decant it if you open the bottle now, allowing the initial cabernet franc scent of green herbs to integrate–Josiah Baldivino of Michael Mina in San Francisco described it as ‘adding a fine detail, like a pocket square in a suit.’” Air brings out the full stature of the wine, its black cherry richness, violet scents and silken texture. For provençal lamb.”
