Surprisingly backward for the vintage and impressively done.

I wouldn't go that far, but there's no denying this is a beautiful wine loaded with darker currants, cassis, graphite, and chalky minerality. It's medium to full-bodied, has a dense, inward, concentrated style, fine-grained tannins, and a solid mid-palate of both power and finesse. It should benefit from 4-6 years of bottle age and have two decades of overall longevity. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95 Wine Advocate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn excellent wine, even if not a great Dominus, the 2020 Dominus delivers waves of dark fruit—think predominantly cassis. A blend of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc, it's full-bodied and richly textured, perhaps a bit warm and open-knit because of the summer's heat, but with a long, velvety finish attractively tinged with mocha and dark chocolate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93 Vinous\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2020 Dominus is one of the wines of the vintage in this crazy year marked by drought and fires. There's plenty of upfront richness and fruit, but the mid-palate and finish taper off faster than they would in a higher-quality vintage. Here, too, the balance is notable, even if there is no escaping the reality that the 2020 is a relatively small-scaled Dominus. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dominus Estate","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44671829704807,"sku":"tku1789993336626","price":191.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0669\/1782\/6663\/files\/dominus-2020_1.png?v=1789993341","url":"https:\/\/coolerboxes.shop\/products\/dominus-2020","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
