This is a sexy, evolved, lush La Dominique. It is filled with notes of ripe cherries, melted licorice, tobacco smoke, and herbs. This delicious, medium-bodied, attractively fleshy, succulently-styled St.-Emilion is not going to make old bones as it does not possess the concentration of either the 1998 or 2000. Enjoy it over the next 7-8 years.
