ROBERT PARKER “Classic 96” RATING: ...the superb 2006 Dominus is 91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Petit Verdot. Its dark plum/purple color is accompanied by aromas and flavors of truffles, forest floor, black cherries, black currants, and Asian spices. One of the finest wines of the vintage, it is complete, full-bodied, and seamlessly built with beautiful ripe tannins, low acidity, and a luscious, layered mouthfeel. The aromatics are even more evolved and complex than the 2005's. The 2006 should drink well for 20-25 years.
Porthos Insider Scoop:
Don’t miss the best combination of California fruit + Bordeaux complexity we’ve tasted! Wow! This new Dominus captures the spirit of Pomerol’s finest in Napa—and Christian Moueix is the Pomerolian who brings the spirit of Chateau Petrus (#1 collectible wine in the World) to Napa. This is a BIG wine (!!!) with perhaps the most glorious texture we’ve ever sampled. If you’re looking for an over-the-top Cabernet thrill ride to enjoy over the next two decades (Seriously!) this wine is a ‘must have!’
