2005 Dominus Beltramo's 2nd of 6
Dominus is a "name" wine. It has tremendous heritage from its french roots (not literaaly) and it has been a very successful brand from Napa.
This wine was good, not great. Plenty of fruit, too much acid, and tart tannins. would clearly be much better in a few years. This is consistent with my experience with Dominus which has shown them to be long lived Napa wines compared to most. They are not in the Dunn category, but within the last year I opend a 1997 to enjoye with a meal and after decanting and letting it rest for a couple of hours it was still vibrant with fruit and very enjoyable.
4th of the 6 wines tasted.
