Note di degustazione
The 2005 La Dominique is a wine of density and power. Inky red fruit, cedar, new leather, tobacco, holiday spice cake, mocha and torrefaction give La Dominique its heady, extroverted personality. Extraction is pushed, and there is quite a bit of oak, but it all works well. I would prefer to drink the 2005 over the next handful of years.

The 2005 La Dominique impressed out of barrel but strangely I never encountered it again. Quite deep in appearance, it has a fresh and vibrant bouquet with ample red cherries, mulberry and allspice aromas that soar from the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, a fine bead of acidity, smooth in texture with a precise, focused, slightly herbal finish that lingers in the mouth. Excellent. Tasted at the vertical tasting at La Dominique.
This is one of the sexy 2005s, a rarity given this slow-evolving vintage that is evolving more like a glacier. Dense ruby/purple, with sweet cassis fruit, black cherries, fruitcake and cedar, this full-bodied wine has a luscious texture. This is a big La Dominique from proprietor Clément Fayat. It can be drunk now, or cellared for another 10-15 years.
