What the critics say
99 WAWine Advocate, Robert Parker, 30-06-2012
This 2002 was virtually perfect when I tasted it in early May. Even better than I predicted seven years ago, this 4,500-case blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Cabernet Franc and the rest Petit Verdot and Merlot has blossomed beautifully, revealing even greater intensity and potential than I predicted. A flawless, seamless integration of tannin, wood, alcohol and acidity is found in this dense, plum/purple-colored Dominus, along with copious notes of sweet black currants interwoven with kirsch, forest floor, unsmoked cigar tobacco, new saddle leather and forest floor. Full-bodied with velvety tannins, stunning elegance and a 45-second finish, this sensational 2002 rivals two of the all-time great wines made at Dominus, 1991 and 1994. It is hard to believe that proprietor Christian Moueix’s Dominus Estate has already celebrated its 25th anniversary and is moving toward 30 years with the 2012-2013 vintages. The 2002 will drink well for another 20 years.

The 2002 Dominus offers a striking interplay of the earthy/savory character typical of this site with the natural breadth of the vintage. The combination is super attractive, to say the least. Succulent red cherry, plum, five-spice, cedar, leather and tobacco all build as the 2002 shows off its sumptuous personality. A long, beautifully resonant finish caps off this stunning Dominus. The 2002 is a gorgeous Napa Valley Cabernet to drink over the next decade or more. It's a fabulous effort from Christian Moueix and winemaker Boris Champy.
