Note di degustazione
A very elegant wine from the Dominus team that contrasts with most wines from this generally opulent vintage. Opens with red fruit, raspberries and cherries, laced with mineral and savory notes before darker fruit, tobacco, blackcurrant and rich earth flavors fill the palate. Very silky tannins, a medium body and a sense of refreshment with good acidity. Composed of cabernet sauvignon with touches of cabernet franc and petit verdot. A super well-balanced wine that’s tempting to drink now, but best from 2029.

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is mostly Cabernet Sauvignon (90%) with the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Incredible aromatics of red and black currants, spring flowers, graphite, camphor, and cedar define the aromatics, and it's incredibly polished and elegant on the palate, with medium to full body, gorgeous tannins, and a great finish. This is another awesome 2019 that matches ample richness and depth with a terrific sense of finesse. Drink bottles over the coming two decades.

Heavy rains in winter and spring totalled 51 inches (cf the 31 inches average). Temperatures see-sawed until June when the first of many heatwaves occurred. Picked 26 September to 11 October. 1,200 cases produced and released only in March 2023. Light to mid crimson. Less extraction? Still very youthful with only a suggestion of tea leaves on the nose but very winning smooth texture on the palate. Still quite a bit of tannin on the palate. Put this away! Pretty juicy fruit though under the tannin. This may be quite a star eventually. (JR)
