Reviewed April 2023The 2001 Dominus is one of the most backward wines of the vintage. Readers who own it will have to be patient, as the 2001 needs a few years to still be at its best! Time in the glass brings out huge dark fruit along with hints of iron, gravel, spice and leather that add to its brooding, imposing personality. The 2001 is approachable with a few hours of air, but is very much a powerhouse. Boris Champy was the winemaker, while Jean-Claude Berrouet was the consulting winemaker. (AG)

This was one of the most delightfully shocking wines in the lineup I sampled during my visit to Dominus in early 2024. Tasting alongside Tod Graff and Christian Mouiex, we all nodded in agreement. Mouiex noted that the potential was fantastic in 1994, 2001, and 2013. And it showed in the 2001, which continued to impress over a few hours. A beautiful umami-soy quality like Nori and Bonita flakes comprise the aromatics. It is very compact until it just blossoms, revealing a rich, loamy earth intensity and vibrancy with tea-like tannins, curranty-truffle, and dried floral complexities. Includes 4% Cabernet Franc.

Christian Moueix knew it was a great vintage straightaway. ‘The biggest problem for a winemaker in a great vintage with lots of sugar is that it can be difficult to finish the fermentation. The poor yeast are suffering to transform the sugars into alcohol so the danger of stuck fermentation and VA is there. It can be an element of complexity.’ He is always aware of raised VA in this wine.Very bright crimson with some blue still evident. Very rich start and really luscious but with structure. Lots of fine tannins still hidden. Complex and still quite youthful. 18/20 points (JR)
