The red wine Dominus Estate, vintage 1997 from the winery Dominus Estate has been rated in 2011 with 96 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape varieties Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc from the region Napa Valley in United States.
Deep carmine-garnet colour. Delicately animalistic and nutty on the nose, with some black berry jam, liquorice and truffles - an opulent bouquet. Juicy and dense on the palate thanks to the core of sweet extract. There's some subtle hints of Brettanomyces and a fresh acidity, leading into a chocolaty and long-lasting dark-fruited finish. Quite a chunk of wine, with great length.
