Collectors - Here is your opportunity to acquire one of the greatest examples of one of the classic icons in Napa Valley red wine: Dominus Estate. The monumental 2008 vintage was awarded 99 incredible points from Robert Parker (his highest score awarded to any vintage of Dominus yet reviewed) in addition to earning 94 points from James Laube of the Wine Spectator (Laube delcared that this, too, was indeed a benchmark expression from this exceptional estate). This bottle was acquired directly from the distributor and is in perfect condition. It has been stored in environmentally controlled condtions (VinoTemp) since it's acquisition. Shipping will include cold-insulated packaging to preserve integrity of the package contents. Buyers can elect to delay shipment of their wine at their discretion. Here is what Robert Parker had to say about this wine (WA Issue 192): Made in a more masculine style, the 2008 Dominus has all of that along with bigger body and more structure, fat, density and texture. Both are brilliant wines and they represent the finest back-to-back vintages for Dominus since 2001 and 2002 or 1990 and 1991. Both the 2007 and 2008 Dominus should drink well for 25-30 years. This estate, owned by Christian Moueix, includes the famed Napanook Vineyard that was the base of so many of the historic Inglenook Cabernet Sauvignons of the 1950s and 1960s. Interestingly, they have completely eliminated Merlot from the bottling. The 2007 Dominus is a 5,400-case blend of 94% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. There are 4,200 cases of the 2008 Dominus which is composed of 84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot. Lower yields resulted in a denser, more concentrated wine. The remarkable thing about these cuvees is that they smell like a hypothetical blend of a top Napa Cabernet Sauvignon and a serious Bordeaux, possibly a cross blend of a Pomerol and Pauillac. Both wines possess silky sweet tannins, which is the big difference between Dominus post-1990 and the first seven vintages, where the tannin content was relatively high. About 40% new oak is used in their upbringing.
