2012 Dominus Estate  750ml - 100 Points

Christian Moueix has a solid reputation as one of the most respected wine producers in the world. At the age of twenty-four, he was managing his family’s many chateaux, including the indomitable Chateau Pétrus. He managed Petrus for over 38 years and currently directs 8 family Chateaux including La Fleur-Petrus and Trotanoy. Looking to make what he called the “Haut-Brion of Napa”, Moueix came to own the legendary Napanook Vineyard and founded Dominus Estate in 1983. Winemaker extraordinaire Tod Mostero trained at Château Haut-Brion, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti and worked with Baron Philippe de Rothschild before joining Christian in 2007. Every vintage of Dominus Estate has consistently scored in the high 90’s, most have rated upwards of 98 to 100 points effortlessly, and have justifiably captured the attention of serious wine collectors globally. The 2018 was Wine Spectator #1 Top 100 Wine of 2021, and the characteristically profound 100 Point 2012 Dominus Estate is yet another perfect wine from Christian Moueix & Tod Mostero. With plenty of time already in the bottle it can be relished immediately, or for the more patient among us, it will cellar for decades. Only 18 Bottles Available - First come, first served.

100 Points Antonio Galloni - "The 2012 Dominus is a wild, exotic wine. Harvest began on October 9 and finished on the 21st, very late by present-day standards. Ripe red cherry, kirsch, cinnamon, rose petal, incense and rose petal soar out of the glass. Deep and vibrant, with terrific freshness, Dominus is very clearly one of the wines of the year. I loved the 2012 from barrel, but found it quite closed after bottling. Now, after all these years, I finally see the realization of the potential suggested in my barrel tastings. Magnificent." (AG)
