Lot #788. Dominus Estate 1987

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Score: 96 RP.
"It is one of the great wines of the vintage in a year when a handful of California producers made profound Cabernets (i.e., Robert Mondavi Reserve, Dunn Howell Mountain, and Chateau Montelena). The wine is beginning to shut down, but it still displays a rich ruby color and an intensely spicy, fragrant nose of toasty vanillin oak, cassis, and cedar. In the mouth, this medium to full-bodied wine displays considerable tannins, fine integrated acidity, and an opulent, rich, spicy finish." Wine Advocate #89, Oct 1993
Provenance: The Cisaille Cellar
Notes: Very lightly scuffed capsule, very lightly damp stained label.
