Dominus--Vintage 1996
Napa Valley
Lot 298 in original wooden case. Lot 299 in six-bottle original wooden case
"A super nose of roasted coffee, chocolate, dried herbs, black fruits and kirsch is both intense and persuasive. The wine displays terrific richness, medium to full body, low acidity, a succulent, opulent texture, and superb purity. This beautifully made 1996 is one of the few wines that has successfully tamed the vintage's elevated tannin level. It should be relatively drinkable upon its release, yet evolve nicely for two decades. Impressive!" Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #120 (December 1998)
