1999 Dominus

Two bottles were bought by a table last night. Monte was kind enough to save a glass for me. Now, mind you the bottle had been opened for fourteen hours so what I tasted is different from what the guest tasted.

The nose was still full of dark cherries and a nice vanilla. The front palate was full bodied and still tasted of fresh fruit. The tannins had definitely mellowed to the point where the word silk comes to mind. Also, the finish was long and enjoyable.

My rating 9.1
