An unqualified sleeper of the vintage, the dark ruby/purple-tinged 2008 La Dominique reveals black olive, licorice, tobacco leaf, raspberry and kirsch liqueur characteristics. Deep and medium to full-bodied with supple tannins, an endearing texture and a lush, long, seamlessly constructed finish, this wine can be enjoyed now and over the next 10-12 years.
Very full and rich. Soft and cocoa sensation. Lovely scent. Opulent and aromatic, very sweet hint of toffee. Rich yet succulent and fresh. Everything in the right place. Very sleek.
One of La Dominique's best efforts over recent years, their opaque purple-hued 2008 reveals copious quantities of sweet blueberry and blackberry fruit intermixed with licorice, roasted herbs, and spice. It is a full-bodied, opulent St.-Emilion with sweet tannin and a layered, expansive mouthfeel. This big time sleeper of the vintage should drink nicely for 15+ years
