This consignor’s wine journey began in the early 1980s, when quality wines were still reasonably priced. Regular visits to the LCBO Vintages shop in Sherwood Forest, Mississauga—now closed—provided access to weekly tastings and a diverse selection. The collection grew through purchases from the LCBO, wine agents, specialty shops in BC, the U.S., Australia, and directly from wineries during travels. All bottles were stored in a refrigerated, temperature- and humidity-controlled wine cabinet to ensure optimal preservation.
1991 Dominus Estate Napa Valley from this lot has the following scores - Decanter 100 points. This is the tasting note for 1991 Dominus Estate Napa Valley from Robert Parker - with a score of 100. As for the 1991, 6,500 cases were produced of this potentially perfect wine. While this vintage of Dominus contains no Merlot in the blend, every time I taste it I am reminded of a great vintage of Petrus such as 1982, 1989 or 1990. Although different, the 1991 Dominus possesses extraordinary intensity, remarkable opulence, and amazing fruit extraction, all welded to a full-bodied structure. The wine's sensational purity and inner-core of depth must be tasted to be believed. The 1991 will be approachable young because of its sweet tannin, yet it exhibits the potential to last for 25 years. Perhaps 1994 will rival it, but for now, the 1991 is unquestionably the greatest Dominus, as well as a potential legend in the making.
