The 91 Dominus is the greatest Dominus produced and I have had every vintage since it's inception in 83. The group all thought it was a 1st Growth guessing 82 a Mouton. One of the best Cali's ever made. — 13 years ago

Low sunlight in '06 produced a darker wine, less fruit forward than I may have expected. But this is my 1st Opus One experience. Obviously, an excellently crafted wine. Licorice, cassis, and blackberry with a touch of spice. — 13 years ago

My 1st perfect score of 2015. This was magical stuff worthy of all the descriptive writing that come with the rating. So I'll save those reading it the time. Take a moment out of your day, and sit down and crack one of these open with somebody you love. You will enjoy what is prob one of the best bottles of Bordeaux you can drink right now. When this is showing well it's amazing. 100pts — 11 years ago
So smooth, probably not as complex/long as the 1st line. But sooo good. — 13 years ago

Double trouble. 1st bottle getting there, with some fruit still intact and a campfire, underbrush character, while 2nd was grippy and totally in denial about its age, basically the Madonna of wines. Both had tons of Asian spices (ginger, curry, cola). 💖 — 11 years ago
