Château La Dominique 2009 Subskription

Weitere Verkostungsnotizen

"The greatest La Dominique since the 1989 and 1990, the 2009 was fashioned by the brilliant duo of Jean-Philippe Fort (Michel Rolland's top lieutenant) and Jean-Luc Thunevin (the bad boy of St.-Emilion). Made from 100% Merlot (which must be a first for this estate), and with 14.3% alcohol, this will be a thrilling wine to drink over the next 20-25 years. Dense purple-hued with loads of black raspberries, black cherries, truffles, earth, and spice, it is an opulent, viscous effort with extraordinary intensity, purity, and richness, and a superb finish of nearly 45 seconds. It will be drinkable young, yet is capable of lasting a long time. Bravo! P.S. It is good to see this 58-acre vineyard return to form after a somewhat listless period of performances. (Tasted three times.)."

"Sattes Purpur-Granat. Tiefes Bouquet, viel Pflaumen und Cassis, wirk kompakt im Ansatz. Fleischiger, dichter, stoffiger Körper, ein gewaltiger Beerencocktail im Extrakt, doch leider wirkt der Wein überextrahiert, auf der Zunge stören bittere Schalentöne. Potentialwertung. 2018 - 2030."

Sweet berry and plum, with wild cherry. Full and velvety. Long finish. Clear and focused fruit. Best in years?

"Drink 2017-2030; Even darker crimson than most. Interesting, quite subtle nose. Then great sweetness on the palate and considerable dryness on the finish. A quite extreme wine that is absolutely on the edge for me as to whether it will all settle down or not. I hereby give it the benefit of the doubt as obviously the makers have taken real risks on ripeness. Some mineral savour. Muscular chewiness. Pretty glamorous and certainly extreme."
