La Dominique 2021 6 Pack

94 POINTS

Zekun Shuai - JamesSuckling.com

Dark plums, cherries, grilled citrus and a touch of dark earth decadence and mushrooms on the nose. Subtle dark spices, too. Medium to full body on the palate with dusty tannins and a lengthy, intricate finish. Refined and layered. Already complex.

Neal Martin - Vinous

The 2021 La Dominique presents a focused nose of perfumed blackberry, raspberry, cedar and sous-bois scents with well-integrated oak. The well-balanced palate is fresh and crisp with fine-grained tannins. Silky-smooth leading into a very persistent, tensile finish. This continues La Dominique's upward trajectory. Excellent.

James Suckling

Blackberry, walnut and crushed-stone aromas follow through to a medium-bodied palate with medium, round tannins and a juicy, pretty finish. Polished and fine for the vintage. Points: 93-94

Georgina Hindle - Decanter

A dark nose with blackcurrant, bramble, dark chocolate and liquorice notes. Succulent and gently juicy on the palate, this has seamless, refined, silky tannins that fill the mouth and give just the right support to the fruit, while the minerality, liquorice, graphite and slate edging give more structure. It has tension, the flavours more linear than expansive, with a clarity and persistence from start to finish. A good effort and will reward with age. You really do feel the terroir at the end with a salinity and crushed stone grip. Creditable winemaking this vintage. Tasted twice. Julien Viaud consultant.

Antonio Galloni MW - Vinous

The 2021 La Dominique is a soft, easygoing wine. Red/purplish fruit, lavender, rose petal and sweet baking spices are pushed forward. The 2021 is not the last word on complexity, but it offers plenty of near and medium term appeal. More importantly, the 2021 is not trying to be something it can't be, which was at times the issue here in the past.
