96 FM "Strong carmine-garnet. Delicately animale, nutty, blackberry confit, liquorice, truffle: an opulent bouquet. Juicy and dense with sweet extract, a discreet note of Brettanomyces, fresh acidity, chocolatey and long-finishing; a chunky wine with great length and sweet dark berry fruit in the finish." 94 RP "The 1997 Dominus, a blend of 86.5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Cabernet Franc, and 4.5% Merlot, is showing fabulously well . . . . This wine is a fleshy, silky-textured, opulent wine with a gorgeous nose of roasted herbs, coffee, jammy black cherry and plum-like fruit."
