1996 Dominus Estate Christian Moueix Napa Valley

95 points Wine Advocate

A super nose of roasted coffee, chocolate, dried herbs, black fruits and kirsch is both intense and persuasive. The wine displays terrific richness, medium to full body, low acidity, a succulent, opulent texture, and superb purity. This beautifully made 1996 is one of the few wines that has successfully tamed the vintage's elevated tannin level. Impressive! (RP) (12/1998)
