| Tasting note |
How good it is to see this property come back so strongly as it was one of my favorite purchases in 1982, 1989, and 1990. A blend of 92% Merlot and 8% Cabernet Franc assembled by the -bad boy- of St.-Emilion, Jean-Luc Thunevin, who consults here along with Michel Rolland's top lieutenant, Jean-Philippe Fort, the dense, concentrated 2007 La Dominique is showing far better out of bottle than it did in cask. It boasts a deep ruby/purple hue along with notes of black raspberries, cedar, roasted herbs, and barbecue smoke. With superb richness, luscious fruit, terrific purity, and an endearing texture, it should drink well over the next 5-7 years. By Robert Parker. |
