Dominus Napanook 2023

Opulent and plush Napa experience, with hints of rich chocolate and a undertone of vanilla, smooth by a clean freshness and firm tannins. A classic Napa style, with a long aging potential and a return to its fruit-forward best.

A bold and full-bodied wine with a complex garnet hue, its nose is influenced by by the classic notes of cedar, plum, and damp earth, though the profile reveals a rich interplay of black cherry, leather, and cocoa, with a subtle effervescence evocative of Brussels sprouts. The wine's medium to full body is described by steady tannins, yielding a inviting dryness. Its style is calling to mind of the French Bordeaux, with a more restrained approach than the typical full-bodied Napa wines. Overall, a well-balanced and pleasing wine with a rich, mellow texture. 4.3/5 stars ✨

Rich, full-bodied wine with a deep, round purple hue. Its aromatic profile is shaped by a textured interplay of plum, baking spice, and vanilla notes, with a gentle wisp of black cherry. On the palate, the wine displays a concentrated texture, with flavors of bell pepper and big vanilla enhanced by plum and cherry. The wine's medium tannins and semi-dry finish make it a stonking pick for those wanting a smooth, drinkable wine. Overall, this wine is a delightful and rewarding experience.
