The 2009 Dominus is a blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon 10% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot. Deep garnet colored it rolls easily sensuously out of the glass with evolving fruit notes of baked blackcurrants plum preserves mulberries and fruitcake plus underlying suggestions of charcuterie camphor chocolate-covered cherries and candied violets with just a touch of cast iron pan. Medium to full-bodied the palate is an exercise in balance with loads of emerging black fruit and earthy layers and a solid line of finely grained tannins finishing very long with a perfumed lift.
