Almost opaque in color, the nose resonates with its showy display of Asian spices, cigar wrapper, fresh herbs, cigar box, blackberries, crushed stone and cassis, Full-bodied, richly concentrated, opulent, and equally refined, the multi-layered display of flawlessness ripe berries, elegant textures, the balance, freshness and flamboyance is what the great vintages of Mouton are all about. The lovely long finish crosses the 60 second mark with ease." * Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider - Tasted: March 2022

Gentle cedar notes lead into layered dark chocolate and cassis, somehow impossibly rich yet savory. Full-bodied, concentrated and supple, this is dense, packed with flavor but seemingly weightless, with a lush, lingering finish that combines intensity with freshness to compel sip after sip. Like all truly great wines, it's full of somehow harmonious contradictions." * Joe Czerwinski - Tasted: March 2023

Drinking Window: 2026 - 2046 Size: 750mL Critic Scores: 96 WS, 96 WI, 96 WP, 95 RP Region: Napa Valley ABV: 14.5%"An excellent wine, even if not a great Dominus, the 2020 Dominus delivers waves of dark fruit—think predominantly cassis. A blend of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc, it's full-bodied and richly textured, perhaps a bit warm and open-knit because of the summer's heat, but with a long, velvety finish attractively tinged with mocha and dark chocolate." * Joe Czerwinski, Wine Advocate - Tasted: June 2023
