The 1996 Vintage exhibits a deep garnet robe with ripe flavors of blackberries, dried cherries and hints of violets, allspice, vanilla and tobacco. Silky tannins and a long and complex finish balance its warm, luscious and elegant body. As with all Dominus wines, we recommend decanting this wine prior to serving, to allow it to develop its full potential.
