1991 Dominus Napa Valley Bordeaux Blend

Bid on this 2-bottle lot of 1991 Dominus Napa Valley Bordeaux Blend (100DC, 99RP, 99TWP, 97WS, 96VN, 94JG). Decanter: "One of the first Napa wines that I fell in love with and still going strong at almost 30 years old, with a good long while ahead of it still. This is delicate yet powerful, a wine that just gets better and better in the glass, showing off the black truffle and undergrowth flavours of a fully mature wine with melted tannins, leather, saffron and rich blackberries. It’s intense and balanced, still opulent and sexy. 40% new oak. Harvest in 1991 was October 6 to 18, but even so they harvested a little earlier in those days than they do today. Dominus is in the Yountville AVA (which was granted in 1999) but in 1991 still Napa Valley AVA. (JA)" (11/2019)
