Parker about Dominus 2017
There was about 50% of a normal crop this year for the 2017 Dominus, due to strict selection. Grapes were harvested from September 21 to October 3 and the wine was bottled in June 2019. This year the blend is 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot, aged in 40% new French oak barrels. Very deep purple-black in color, it sashays nonchalantly out of the glass with graceful notions of potpourri, forest floor, crushed rocks, Ceylon tea and licorice with a core of black currant cordial, chocolate-covered cherries, mulberries and preserved plums plus a waft of garrigue. Full-bodied, the palate has a beautifully impactful, wonderfully quiet intensity of black and blue fruits with loads of floral and spicy sparks, framed by firm yet plush tannins, finishing with long-lasting earthy notes. 2,800 cases were made.

Dominus 2017
In the glass, the Dominus 2017 presents itself in a deep, dark ruby red color, which indicates its concentration and intensity.
The bouquet is complex and seductive. Aromas of dark berries such as blackcurrants and blackberries unfold, accompanied by notes of dark chocolate, tobacco, and spices. The bouquet is rich and gives the wine a fascinating aromatic depth.
On the palate, the 2017 Dominus displays impressive structure and smoothness. The tannins are silky and well-integrated, giving the wine a pleasant texture. The fruity aromas continue on the palate, supported by balanced acidity. The wine displays remarkable balance and a long finish.
The 2017 Dominus is a powerful yet elegant wine, accessible even in its youth, but also with great potential for further development and aging. It pairs well with grilled meats, lamb dishes, or even mature cheeses.

Information about the winemaker:
The history of the Dominus winery is inextricably linked to the history of Christian Moueix, one of the greatest and most well-known winemakers of our time. With more than five decades of experience in wine production in the legendary wine-growing region of Bordeaux and around 40 years of experience on the soil of the Napa Valley in the USA, there is probably no other winemaker in the world who has such an incomparable insight into the old and the new Weinwelt has won like Moueix.
