1999 Dominus Estate Christian Moueix, Napa Valley, USA

TASTING NOTE
The 1999 vintage is beautifully harmonious with an inviting color and a very full body. This wine starts with a delicate entry of black cherry aromas, evolving toward impressively structured tannins. The long, fragrant finish reveals spicy notes and a hint of cedar.
1999 Dominus
VINTAGE SUMMARY
The 1999 season amidst “La Niña” saw a dry winter, cold spring and mild summer. The long growing season resulted in even ripening of the fruit, which achieved the quality, distinctive flavors and balance desired. The small berry size decreased the yield, but increased the intensity. New oak was used sparingly to respect the fruity characteristics.

Blend: Cabernet Sauvignon: 75%, Cabernet Franc: 13%, Petit Verdot: 3%, Merlot: 9%
Harvest Start: September 14
Harvest End: October 14
Bottling Date: May 2001
Percent New Barrels: 40%
Cases Produced: 7000
Release Date: July 2002

V 91

Vinous

(Rating 91+). Medium red-ruby. Spicy red- and blackcurrant, plum, currant leaf and mocha on the claret-like nose. Dense and rich, with spicy red berry and lightly floral flavors nicely framed by harmonious acidity. Today one senses the wine's 13% cabernet franc component. Quite tightly coiled today; shows little sign of the roasted character shown by some '99s. Firmly tannic and very strong on the back end, with an almost medicinal austerity; very much a wine from small berries. This really needs at least seven or eight years of bottle aging; make sure to decant your bottle if you can't wait to pull the cork. Should ultimately merit a higher rating.
