The 2012 La Dominique is a hedonistic, medium to full-bodied effort with lots of black olive, black raspberry, licorice and kirsch characteristics. It is a well-endowed, fleshy, succulently textured wine exhibiting outstanding ripeness, no dilution and sweet tannin. Consume it over the next 10-15 years.
This is a resounding success for La Dominique, which seems to have returned to the path of glory after a wayward trek.
Score: 89-92
Vivacious blueberry, lingonberry and blackberry fruit bounces along here, with a briary underpinning and buried spice notes on the juicy finish.
Rene Gabriel rates this wine 17/20 points.
