1990 Dominus Wine (Dominus Spiritus Sanctus)

This 1990 Dominus wine from Christian Moueix in Napa Valley is a great after church wine or anytime wine.

If you are looking for an overpowering fruit bomb in this 1990 look elsewhere. This is about Napa Valley fruit not being masked by the wine making process. An hour after the bottle was opened, it slowly opened up some more.

There are gentle aromas of concentrated black cherries,charred oak and undertones of menthol. On the palate there are dense powerful elegant tannins. These tannins just melt away on the elegant finish.

Truly a bottle of wine that can age and it came with its cellar dust.
