Dominus 2023 1.5L

TWP 100 points

"The 2023 Dominus is a blend of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Cabernet Franc, and 4% Petit Verdot. Opaque purple-black in color, it slowly unfurls to reveal a powerful core of blackcurrant jelly, ripe black plums, and fresh blueberries, followed by hints of menthol, crushed rocks, dried sage, black truffles, and black olives. The full-bodied palate is both generous and energetic, displaying an impressive array of savory and earthy nuances among the dense black fruit layers and a rock-solid frame of grainy tannins and beautiful tension, finishing with epic length."-Lisa Perrotti-Brown, MW

Robert Parker Wine Advocate 98

"The only one of the Dominus wines to show more than a hint of wood, the 2023 Dominus matured in 40% new French oak, leaving it marked by caramel and cedar overtones. Yet that oak aging is balanced by plenty of black cherry fruit and loamy earth notes, blending easily into a harmonious whole. Medium- to full-bodied, this rich, almost creamy blend of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot finishes with velvety tannins borne on a finish that unfolds to reveal incredible persistence and complexity."-Joe Czerwinski

Decanter 98

The 2023 Dominus Estate is a blend of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot. In this vintage, the wine beautifully captures the spirit of 2023 in Oakville, offering pure red-berry and cherry fruit alongside blackberry, all threaded with an expressive ironstone-mineral core, with black olive pit and pressed-floral notes. Hints of sage and loamy earth add dimension. Ultra-fine, powdery tannins provide ample structure and an approachability rarely encountered at this early stage for this label. Owner Christian Moueix decided to release this wine at a slightly lower price than the exceptional 2021 (even though they didn't make wine in 2022).

Jeb Dunnuck 97

"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. "-Jeb Dunnuck
