Beschreibung

Wine Advocate (Erin Larkin):
Der 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Bin 707 stammt aus Coonawarra, Barossa Valley und Wrattonbully und reift 16 Monate lang in amerikanischen Eichenfässern (100% neu). In der Nase zeigt sich der Wein aromatisch zurückhaltend, aber im Mund entfalten die Tannine (und dann die Früchte) ihre volle Kraft. Dies ist ein kraftvoller Wein, der, um ehrlich zu sein, bei seiner Veröffentlichung wenig Freude bereitet. Der klare Vorbehalt, den ich an dieser Stelle betonen möchte, ist, dass alter Bin 707 – wir sprechen von 20 oder 30 Jahren – ein anmutiger, kraftvoller, aufregender Wein ist. Und 2021 war ein wunderschönes Jahr: lange, kühle und gleichmäßige Wachstumsbedingungen, sodass die in diesem Jahr produzierten Weine (insbesondere aus Südaustralien) elegant und ausgewogen sind. Die Frucht hier spricht von ihren Jahrgangsursprüngen; jedoch bleibt das Eichenholz zu diesem frühen Zeitpunkt ein großer Teil der Geschichte. Der „Plus“-Teil der Bewertung ist ein sehr lauter Indikator für sein zukünftiges Potenzial. 14,5% Alkohol, versiegelt unter Naturkork.

Jane Anson:
98 / 100
Ich liebe diesen Wein einfach, so eingebettet und jung, aber sein Potenzial ist klar erkennbar. Er nimmt das Herz des Cabernet Sauvignon und destilliert es, intensiviert es, wickelt das Minzblatt und die Lakritze ein und hebt es auf ein Bett aus gemessener Säure und purem Cassis. Feine Tannine - es gibt viele davon, aber man spürt sie kaum. Nicht geklärt und nicht filtriert. Ein Jahrgang mit kleinen Beeren und dicken Schalen, daher haben sie die Mazerationszeit verkürzt, um den Schwerpunkt auf diese Reinheit des Ausdrucks zu legen. Es gab keinen Bin 707 oder 169 im Jahr 2020 wegen der Waldbrände, daher ist dies der erste in zwei Jahren. 100% neue amerikanische Eiche, im Fass vergoren. Peter Gago Chefwinzer.

James Suckling:
Dies ist ein sehr feiner 707. Oft etwas schwerfällig, aber dieser ist raffinierter, als ich ihn in Erinnerung habe. Tannine wie eine Gewehrmündung mit einem Hauch von stählernem Willen. Wie ein Film aus legierten Kugellagern, der über den großzügig gewichteten Gaumen rollt und dabei Jod, Kräuterstrauß, eine Spur Tapenade und Cassis an den richtigen Stellen liefert. Reich und kraftvoll, aber gleichzeitig detailliert und herzhaft. Die Saftigkeit der Frucht überwindet mühelos das Übermaß an Eichenholz und verheißt eine sehr vielversprechende Zukunft. Ein wunderbarer Wein in der Entstehung. Am besten nach 2027.

Chateau Lafite Rothschild 2019 Pauillac

William Kelley im April 2022:

One of the greatest wines produced in Bordeaux this year is the 2019 Lafite Rothschild, an impeccably balanced classic of immense charm and grace. Wafting from the glass with arresting aromas of cassis, blackberries and cherries mingled with violets, cigar box and warm spices, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and seamless, its velvety attack segueing into a layered, concentrated mid-palate framed by exquisitely powdery tannins and ripe acids, and concluding with a long, perfumed finish. This rivals the 2010 and 2016 as the greatest Lafite of the decade, and of those three vintages, it's clearly the most sensual and demonstrative out of the gates. The blend contains fully 94% Cabernet Sauvignon and attained a modest 13.4% alcohol.

James Suckling über den Chateau Lafite Rothschild 2019 Pauillac:

12 Jan, 2022 – So much sweet tobacco, Spanish cedar, dried flowers, dark mushrooms and roses. Really aromatic. This is so polished and very powerful, yet ethereal and refined at the same time. The finish goes on for minutes. Tight and harmonious. You want to drink it! So balanced, yet it will age beautifully. It will be this good forever. 94% cabernet sauvignon, 5% merlot and 1% petit verdot. Better after 2031.

98 Punkte vom Vinous-Team für den Chateau Lafite Rothschild 2019 Pauillac

Antonio Galloni (Vinous) bewertet den Chateau Lafite Rothschild 2019 Pauillac:

The 2019 Lafite-Rothschild is a mesmerizing wine that shows how compelling the vintage is on the Left Bank. Elegant, creamy and exquisitely layered, the 2019 Lafite conquers all the senses. There is tremendous density and power that belies the 12.8% alcohol, but then again, that can be the magic of Bordeaux. Classic Lafite red plum fruit, spice, cedar, licorice and rose petal linger on the striking, persistent finish.

Und Neal Martin (Vinous) zum Chateau Lafite Rothschild 2019 Pauillac:

The 2019 Lafite-Rothschild screams Cabernet Sauvignon on the nose of intense black fruit, graphite and subtle minty aromas, supremely well-defined and revealing a hint of star anise with aeration. The medium-bodied palate is beautifully balanced, offering sappy black fruit, black pepper, graphite and just a touch of spice. This has more body, maybe even a touch more sinew than recent vintages, perhaps because of the reconfiguration of the Merlot parcels (see my note en primeur). Very persistent and almost uncharacteristically grippy on the finish, this is a gifted Lafite-Rothschild that will last 50+ years. It will certainly surpass the 2018 with continued bottle age.

98 Punkte vom Wine Spectator für den Chateau Lafite Rothschild 2019 Pauillac

Für den Wine Spectator verköstigte James Molesworth den Chateau Lafite Rothschild 2019 Pauillac:

A very energetic wine, with wild loganberry, mulberry and black currant fruit flavors that bristle with mouthwatering bay leaf, licorice root and savory notes. The finish is tight now, with charcoal shadings and a smoldering cast iron note, but there's additional black tea, incense and floral hints for contrast. Dense and driven, with more than enough elements to match its energy, meaning this can cruise in the cellar for a long time. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Best from 2026 through 2045.

Dunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, dezente Randaufhellung. Ein Hauch von Nougat, reife Kirschen, ein Hauch von Cassis, frische Orangenzesten, ein Hauch von Edelholz, sehr einladend. Komplex, stoffig, reife schwarze Kirschenfrucht, angenehme Fruchtsüße, seidige Tannine, frisch strukturiert, mineralisch, ein Hauch von Schokolade, bereits in diesem frühen Zustand ungemein verführerisch, große Länge, sicheres Reifepotenzial, ein Wein von enormen Charme und großer Finesse.

Chateau Mouton Rothschild 2019 Pauillac

James Suckling über den Chateau Mouton Rothschild 2019 Pauillac:

21 Jan, 2022 – This is incredibly complex, with all the cabernet descriptors, from mint and lead pencil to blackberry, blackcurrant and menthol. It changes all the time in the glass, just as in the nose. Yet, it remains cool and classy. Full-bodied with very fine, tight tannins that run the length of the wine, carrying on and on and on. Well-framed and compact wine. Never-ending procession of currant, berry and black cherry fruit, together with licorice, earth and just a hint of black truffle. 90% cabernet sauvignon, 9% merlot and 1% petit verdot. Give this until 2028 to show its true greatness.

98 Punkte von Jeb Dunnuck für den Chateau Mouton Rothschild 2019 Pauillac

Jeb Dunnuck im April 2022:

The 2019 Château Mouton Rothschild is based on 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot, and 1% Petit Verdot, and it hit a relatively normal alcohol level of 13.5%, which is higher than the 2009 and shows the quality of the Cabernet Sauvignon in the vintage. It shows the new, modern style of Bordeaux in its purity, elegance, and finesse while still being an incredibly concentrated Pauillac, and where some vintages of Mouton can just about jump out of the glass, this is a more seamless, streamlined, elegant beauty that builds with time in the glass and is just about impossible to fault. Gorgeous crème de cassis, lead pencil shavings, forest floor, licorice, damp earth, and graphite, as well as some espresso nuances, emerge on the nose, and it's rich, medium to full-bodied, has ultra-fine tannins, and a great finish. This is pure haute couture in Bordeaux that unquestionably offers pleasure today (again, just about all modern Bordeaux from a great vintage offer pleasure in their youth) but will require a solid decade to hit maturity, and it should evolve for 20, 30, 40 years or more. This is not an unformed beast of wine that demands bottle age, and I suspect it will have a broad, forgiving drink window that consumers will love.

William Kelley im April 2022:

The 2019 Mouton Rothschild is the most dramatic of the Médoc first growths, soaring from the glass with aromas of cassis, blackberries and violets mingled with rich aromas of cedar, cigar wrapper, licorice, loamy soil and spices. Full-bodied, layered and multidimensional, it's deep and powerful, with huge levels of concentration and an ineffably complete, seamless profile, concluding with a long, resonant finish. Plenty of ripe tannin is hidden by its ample core of fruit, and despite its youthful polish, this will require plenty of bottle age to realize all its potential. This blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot tastes in many respects like the 2016 Mouton's more sun-kissed cousin.

99 Punkte vom Vinous-Team für den Chateau Mouton Rothschild 2019 Pauillac

Antonio Galloni (Vinous) bewertet den Chateau Mouton Rothschild 2019 Pauillac:

The 2019 Mouton Rothschild has come together beautifully since I tasted it from barrel. Today, it is unquestionably one of the wines of the vintage. Powerful and statuesque in its beauty, Mouton is remarkable in every way. Layers of dark-toned fruit confer seriousness and intensity that builds with time. All of the finesse I saw in barrel is still present. Since then, the 2019 has gained flesh and vibrancy. Magnificent!

98 Punkte vom Vinous-Team für den Chateau Mouton Rothschild 2019 Pauillac

Und Neal Martin (Vinous) zum Chateau Mouton Rothschild 2019 Pauillac:

The 2019 Mouton Rothschild has a magnificent bouquet that gradually unfolds in the glass to reveal blackberry, iodine, touches of crushed violet and then, with time, that gorgeous mintiness, just like you get in the 1945 (not that this is the 1945). The palate is beautifully balanced with a lattice of fine, succulent tannins, pure black fruit laced with graphite, blood orange, a touch of black pepper and a hint of pitted black olives on the finish. Very persistent in the mouth, this is a brilliant Mouton-Rothschild that will blossom with bottle age.

98 Punkte vom Wine Spectator für den Chateau Mouton Rothschild 2019 Pauillac

Für den Wine Spectator verköstigte James Molesworth denChateau Mouton Rothschild 2019 Pauillac:

Plows straight ahead, with a rather towering display of cassis as well as cherry and plum reduction notes that are pure, defined and deftly supported by a seamlessly embedded iron spine. Features light savory, floral and red tea notes that flash in the background, while the fruit glistens through the extremely lengthy finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Best from 2025 through 2045.

Chateau Angelus 2020 Saint Emilion

Den Chateau Angelus 2020 Saint Emilion beschreibt William Kelley wie folgt:
The 2020 Angélus has turned out superbly and underlines this estate's continuing shift to a more elegant, integrated style that offers a purer expression of its terroir. A blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc, it unwinds in the glass with aromas of cherries, wild berries, rose petals, mint and subtle hints of licorice, followed by a medium to full-bodied, beautifully layered and vibrant palate that's deep, precise and penetrating, concluding with a mouthwateringly chalky finish. Some 120 hectoliters of Cabernet Franc, amounting to around 20% of the blend, were matured in foudre this year, which no doubt helps to account for the significantly reduced oak impact in the 2020.

Den Chateau Angelus 2020 Saint Emilion beschreibt James Suckling wie folgt:
Blackberry and plum character with chocolate, too. Oyster shell. Full and very firm with a linear sensibility. Tight and powerful. Very pure fruit. Tension and energy there. Polished tannins. Some coffee bean and chocolate. Give this at least five or six years. 60% merlot and 40% cabernet franc. Try after 2028.

98 Punkte von Jeb Dunnuck für den Chateau Angelus 2020 Saint Emilion

Den Chateau Angelus 2020 Saint Emilion beschreibt Jeb Dunnuck wie folgt:
The flagship from this great estate, the 2020 Château Angelus checks in as 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc that spent 22 months in new barrels. It’s darker and more concentrated compared to the 2019, offering beautiful, medium to full-bodied aromas and flavors of redcurrants, black raspberries, sandalwood, spring flowers, and smoked tobacco. With just about flawless balance, it's not the blockbuster style of a decade ago, but it has gorgeous purity, ultra-fine tannins, a round, seamless mouthfeel, and a great, great finish. It's very much in the classic, balanced, structured style of the vintage, and a solid 7-8 years of bottle age are recommended. It will have 30+ years of prime drinking.

Chateau Ausone 2019 Saint Emilion

William Kelley im April 2022:

Like a bouquet of fresh flowers on the nose, as well as blackberries, raspberries and blackcurrants. Sandalwood as well. Full-bodied with incredibly polished tannins that have the texture of the finest velvet. The palate is very fine, oriented with fabulously pure fruit and minerally and stone undertones at the finish. It’s so classical in nature. Essence of Ausone. 60% cabernet franc and 40% merlot. From organically grown grapes. Best after 2027.

Chateau Cheval Blanc 2020 Saint Emilion

Diese Bewertungen illustrieren einhellig die außergewöhnliche Qualität und Ausdruckskraft des Château Cheval Blanc 2020. Die Kritiker sind sich einig über die Finesse, Komplexität, Eleganz und das enorme Potenzial dieses Weins, der bereits in jungen Jahren beeindruckt und eine lange Reifezeit verspricht. Mit perfekt integrierter Eiche, seidigen Tanninen und einer Vielzahl von Aromen positioniert sich Château Cheval Blanc 2020 an der Spitze der Weinwelt.

Jeb Dunnuck beschreibt den Wein im März 2023

Jeb Dunnuck beschreibt den Grand Vin 2020 Château Cheval Blanc als eine Cuvée aus 65% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc und 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, die wie immer in 100% neuen französischen Eichenfässern gereift ist. Er lobt die Finesse, Eleganz, Komplexität und die tiefpurpurne Farbe dieses Weins. Das Bouquet offenbart süße rote und schwarze Früchte, Frühlingsblumen, würziges Weihrauch, erdigen Boden und rauchigen Tabak. Der Wein präsentiert sich am Gaumen absolut makellos, vollmundig, perfekt integrierte Eiche, reife, seidige Tannine und ein herrliches Finish. Dunnuck empfiehlt, dem Wein 7-8 Jahre Flaschenreife zu gönnen, aber betont, dass er bereits jetzt Freude bereitet, wenn er ausreichend belüftet wird.

The Wine Cellar Insider (Jeff Leve) : 99 / 100 Jeff Leve lobt die monumentale Cheval Blanc 2020 mit einem Bouquet aus weißen, roten und violetten Blüten, indischen Gewürzen, roten und schwarzen Früchten sowie Trüffeln. Auf dem Gaumen überzeugt der Wein mit unzähligen Schichten von cashmereartigen Früchten, raffinierten, seidigen Tanninen, Frische und Energie. Die ungeheure Länge und Finesse des Abgangs machen diesen Wein zu einem Meisterwerk, das Jahrzehnte lang reifen kann, aber bereits in jungen Jahren genossen werden kann. Leve empfiehlt den Genuss des Weins zwischen 2027 und 2065.

99 Punkte
Das Decantermagazin beschreibt Château Cheval Blanc 2020 als ein Wein mit Aromen von Gewürzen, Anis, Rosmarin, schwarzen Johannisbeerblättern, roten Johannisbeeren, Minze und Pfingstrosen. Insgesamt wird die gesamte aromatische Bandbreite präsentiert, begleitet von einer fülligen Fruchtigkeit im Körper des Weins. Die kompakten und kraftvollen Tannine sind von saftigen Himbeer- und Brombeerfrüchten umhüllt. Der Wein zeugt von Lebendigkeit, unterstützt von einer lebendigen Säure und einem langen Finish, das auf eine extrem lange Lebensdauer hindeutet. 71% der Gesamtproduktion entfällt auf diesen Wein, und es wird angemerkt, dass dies das trockenste Jahr bei Cheval Blanc seit 50 Jahren war. Eine potenzielle 100-Punkte-Bewertung wird in Erwägung gezogen, nachdem der Wein in Flaschen verkostet wurde.

100 Punkte Jane Anson beschreibt den Château Cheval Blanc 2020 als intensiv, unvergesslich, mit Schicht um Schicht von Heidelbeere, Himbeere, Granatapfel, Fenchel, Lakritze, Wachsmalstift, Espresso, zerdrückten Steinen - einfach so viel Charakter und Haltung. Sie hebt hervor, dass es das trockenste Jahr bei Cheval Blanc seit 1959 war, mit 71% der Produktion aus dem 39 Hektar großen Weingut in diesem Wein, geleitet von dem technischen Direktor Pierre Olivier Clouet. Dies ist das erste Jahr, in dem der Wein nicht mehr mit dem Label Premier Grand Cru Classé A versehen wird, seit die Klassifizierung begann, nachdem er aus der Liste gestrichen wurde. Das ist sicherlich eine interessante Randnotiz für Sammler, aber es macht überhaupt keinen Unterschied zur Brillanz dessen, was sich im Flascheninneren verbirgt.

Chateau Palmer 2019 Margaux

James Suckling über den Chateau Palmer 2019 Margaux:
11 Nov, 2021 – So much sweet tobacco, stone, brambleberry and currant on the nose. The palate is full and compact with very polished tannins, yet they are solid and sturdy and run the length and width of the wine. Energetic acidity. Very structured and powerful, yet agile and impressive. Historic feel. From biodynamically grown grapes. This needs at least six years of bottle age to soften. Try after 2027.

98 Punkte vom Vinous-Team für den Chateau Palmer 2019 Margaux

Antonio Galloni (Vinous) bewertet den Chateau Palmer 2019 Margaux:
The 2019 Palmer is a truly special wine, but it is also going to need a number of years to be at its finest. Dense and plush, with explosive energy, the 2019 possesses tremendous richness in its dark fruit. As always, the blend features a high percentage of Merlot (43%) which works so well in complementing the savoriness of the Cabernet. Thomas Duroux and his team fashioned another absolutely compelling Palmer in 2019.

97 Punkte vom Vinous-Team für den Chateau Palmer 2019 Margaux

Und Neal Martin (Vinous) zum Chateau Palmer 2019 Margaux:
The 2019 Palmer was always going to be stylistically a completely different kettle of fish than the preceding vintage. It was bottled in early August 2021. As winemaker Thomas Duroux foretold, it’s a much more classically styled Palmer, offering blackberry, briary and pressed iris petals scents rather than violet, along with a distinct marine influence; a touch of sea spray comes through with time. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit, tightly knit on the entry, and very fresh and saline, with just a very slight bitter edginess toward the almost Côte de Nuits–like finish (especially returning to my glass after 20 minutes). Quintessential Palmer, this will require 4–6 years in bottle.

William Kelley im April 2022:
The 2019 Palmer is a rich, dramatic wine that soars from the glass with aromas of cherries, blackberries and berry fruit liqueur mingled with notions of violets, rose petals and sweet spices. Full-bodied, layered and seamless, it's powerful and immensely concentrated, with an enveloping core of lively fruit that largely conceals the wine's ripe, powdery structuring tannins. Concluding with a long, penetrating finish, it's a brilliant rendition of the contemporary Palmer style from Thomas Duroux and his team.

Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 2018 Pauillac

Lisa Perrotti Brown bewertet den Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 2018 Pauillac wie folgt:

The 2018 Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande is a blend of 71% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot with a pH of 3.85, an IPT (total polyphenol index) of 87 and 14% alcohol. The grand vin represents 50% of the crop this year. Deep garnet-purple colored, it charges out of the gate with bold scents of baked plums, ripe blackcurrants and wild blueberries, followed by hints of cedar chest, pencil lead, bouquet garni and charcuterie, plus a waft of lilacs. The medium-bodied palate is beautifully crafted with its seamless freshness and firm, grainy tannins supporting the compelling, finely knit black fruits and savory nuances, finishing on a lingering fragrant-earth note. This will need a good 5 years to come around and should easily cellar for another 30 years or more.

Antonio Galloni bewertet den Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 2018 Pauillac wie folgt:

The 2018 Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande dazzles from the very first taste. A heady concoction of inky dark fruit, graphite, new leather, licorice, lavender, spice and grilled herbs soars out of the glass. The 2018 is rich and expansive yet retains a super-classic vertical feel. Plush, silky tannins add to its immeasurable pedigree. I would cellar the 2018 for a decade or so, if patience permits. It's a stellar wine in the making.

James Suckling bewertet den Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 2018 Pauillac wie folgt:

Aromas of blackberry, dried blueberry, gravel, mocha and cigar box. Light fresh-herb undertone. It’s full-bodied with firm, ultra fine tannins and fresh acidity. Focused and minerally with a long finish. Great length. Very tight and

Jeb Dunnuck im November 2020:

The 2018 Château Pichon-Longueville Comtesse De Lalande is a monster of a wine with an almost Château Latour-like stature and structure, offering deep, backward, slightly reductive notes of blackcurrants, crushed stone, scorched earth, lead pencil shavings, and tobacco leaf. Based largely on Cabernet Sauvignon mixed with 23% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Petit Verdot, it's full-bodied, concentrated, and powerful on the palate, with masses of tannins, beautiful mid-palate density, and a great finish. As I've commented previously, the up-front, sexy style of the past (due to the larger Merlot content, I believe) has been replaced by a more regal, at times austere profile. Nevertheless, it's still its own wine and very Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande in style. This 2018 is going to need 5-7 years of bottle age and will evolve for 40+ years.

Domaine du Pegau Cuvee Da Capo Chateauneuf du Pape 2020

Die rare Perle der Domaine du Pegau

Denn mit dem Domaine du Pegau Cuvee Da Capo Chateauneuf du Pape 2020 wurde erst die achte Ausgabe seit dem Erstlingswerk 1998 vinifiziert und abgefüllt.

Jeb Dunnuck gibt im November 2022 95-97 Punkte für diesen, wie er schreibt, "zweifellos großartigen" Châteauneuf du Pape: "Viele reife schwarze Früchte, geröstete Garrigue, Wildfleisch und Blumen bestimmen die Aromatik, und am Gaumen ist er mittel bis vollmundig, mit viel Tiefe in der Mitte des Gaumens, einem konzentrierten, eleganteren Mundgefühl und sich aufbauenden Tanninen."

Joe Czerwinski notiert im Mai 2022 zum Domaine du Pegau Cuvee Da Capo Chateauneuf du Pape 2020:

Based on this showing, I couldn't definitely say that the 2020 Châteauneuf du Pape Cuvée da Capo will turn out better than the hugely impressive Cuvée Réservée. Lavender, bay leaf and purple raspberries stand out on the nose, while the palate is full-bodied, silky and elegant. It's perhaps slightly more concentrated, with more tannic grip on the finish and a firmer structure. One for the cellar.

98-99 Sucklingpunkte für den Domaine du Pegau Cuvee Da Capo Chateauneuf du Pape 2020

Für James Suckling ist der Domaine du Pegau Cuvee Reservee Chateauneuf du Pape 2020 "unwiderstehlich" (April 2022):

Incredibly complex leather and forest-floor character, as well as great wild-blackberry fruit, make this enormously concentrated and powerful Chateauneuf du Pape irresistible. So graceful and silky at the super-long finish. With every swirl of the glass, the aromas expand!

Dominus 2013 Dominus Estate Napa Valley

Beschreibung für den Dominus 2013

Dominus 2013 captures the deep character of the Napanook Vineyard. and unfolds with magnificent dimension. Blue and purple fruit. violets and earth unite in a wine whose
aging potential is unlimited.
“In Napa. the 2013 vintage is. for me. the vintage of a lifetime.” - Christian Moueix

2 0 1 3 D O M I N U S Napa Valley
2013 was characterized by a very dry spring and a consistently warm summer/early fall. Only 6.4 inches of rainfall were recorded from January to June (versus 17.7 inches average).
Low reserves of soil water limited vine growth. While average temperatures remained warm throughout spring and summer. no heat spikes were recorded in July. August or September.
In terms of thermal time (growing degree days). the season was 18 days ahead of the norm at the beginning of harvest (September 10).
Blend: Cabernet Sauvignon: 89%. Petit Verdot: 7%. Cabernet Franc: 4%

Antonio Galloni für Vinous im Oktober 2015:

The 2013 Dominus overwhelms all the senses with its magnificent overall balance and towering intensity. Deep and nearly impenetrable in the glass. the 2013 boasts off the charts dry extract and overall power. Violets. smoke. black cherries. menthol. incense. crème de cassis and dark spices are some of the many signatures that take shape in the glass. Even better in bottle than it was in barrel. the 2013 is utterly magnificent. This is a remarkably vivid. nuanced wine considering its sheer size.

James Suckling beschreibt ihn am 13. September 2016 wie folgt:

The aromas to this are multidimensional and fascinating with black truffles. bark. cloves. black currants. citrus. and even ginseng. Full-bodied. yet reserved and austere with chewy and powerful tannins that remain polished and refined. The flavors are more umami and savory. Then there are forest fruits and blood-orange undertones. The wine goes on for minutes. A wine to age for a lifetime. It's an experience to taste this. A new classic showing its history and tradition as a source of the greatest wines ever from Napa. A wine to enjoy forever.

Robert M. Parker Jr. 30. Oktober 2015:

The 2013 Dominus is. to my way of thinking. one of the most profound wines Christian Moueix has yet made in his rather brilliant winemaking history. both in France and in Napa Valley. This wine. with very low yields of only 3.500 cases and a final blend of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon. 7% Petit Verdot and 4% Cabernet Franc. offers up notes of cedar wood. forest floor. loamy soil and oodles of blackberry and blackcurrant fruit. Very opaque purple in color. super-pure and intense. this wine has low acidity. but ripe. noticeable tannins. This is a 30- to 40-year wine and a profound effort from this famous vineyard in Yountville. Drink it over the next 40+ years.
