A Toronto based collector whose career in advertising exposed him to fine wine and cuisine throughout the world, he began to seriously purchase wine in the early 90s. The bottles were sourced through the LCBO and various Ontario agencies and stored in his home cellar or wine fridges, temperature-controlled with zero vibration.
The tasting note for 1997 Dominus Estate Napa Valley is from Robert Parker and the score is 94 - The 1997 Dominus, a blend of 86.5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Cabernet Franc, and 4.5% Merlot, is showing fabulously well. With 14.1% alcohol and a pH that would make many New World oenologists shudder (about 3.95), this wine is a fleshy, silky-textured, opulent wine with a gorgeous nose of roasted herbs, coffee, jammy black cherry and plum-like fruit. Asian spice, licorice, and blackberry and cherry notes with tobacco spice all add to this complex, very involved, yet gorgeously symmetrical Dominus. The wine is medium to full-bodied, very concentrated, and silky-textured.
