The 2009 Dominin is explosive from the very first taste. The 2009 is an unsual Dominin in that it is 100% Merlot rather than a Merlot/Refosco blend, as has been the case in the pas t. In 2009 the Refresco vineyards were too adversely affected by the heat, so Meroi opted to make the Dominin only from Merlot, a decision that paid off handsomely. Layers of super-ripe opulent fruit saturate the palate as the 2009 opens up in the glass. An exciting melange of raspberry jam, flowers, licorice and spices comes to life in the 2009 Dominin. There is no question this is a big, full-throttle wine, yet all of the elements are beautifully balanced throughout. This is a showstopper from Meroi. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2029. Score - 95.
