Le Dôme - St.-Emilion 2005 (750ml) XinomavroCritical Acclaim 98 points Wine Advocate From the famous flagship estate of Jonathan Malthus, this wine normally has about 75% or more Cabernet Franc in the blend and the rest Merlot. With the great aromatic expression of the vintage, the 2005 Le Dme offers up a smashing fireworks like display of spring flowers, blueberries, forest floor, raspberries and cherries. Dense purple in color, medium to full bodied, light on its feet, but super intense and

elegant rather than powerful

This is a 21st century version of the brilliant 1996

rounded with a long fry

it presents one-of-a-kind conditions

Dennis has received worldwide attention for his Viognier

bright fruit and brisk acidity on the finish

Budbreak arrived a little over a week early

Angular and focused

where warm days and cool nights are essential for Pinot's development

It has chocolate-covered raisin

with harmonious balanced acidity

TASTING NOTES: This wine excels with aromas and flavors of chalky notes
