The 2015 Dominus, which is 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc and 9% Petit Verdot really struts its stuff. Moueix’s belief in dry farming seems to be paying off with stronge r and stronger vintages, each successive year, and the 2014 is a sexy, opulent, layered, multidimensional wine with notes of red and blackcurrant, cedar wood, tobacco leaf , spice box and licorice. The color is a dense plum/ruby/purple, much like the Napanook. This is a beauty that is already drinking gorgeously – as most 2014s are – and will continue to evolve for 25 or so years.
