Dominus Estate Napa Valley Napanook Vineyard 1995

An amazing wine. The purple has faded from the color of the wine, leaving a rich, perfect red behind. The nose had strong elements of tobacco and cedar, in addition to touches of blackberry, black currants and leather. On the palate, the tannins were silky smooth and the aftertaste coated the mouth for minutes. Drink now, or hold for a few more years. Four and a half out of five stars.
