Description
The 2009 Napanook, which Moueix claims to be one of his favorite wines of the last decade, is among the finest they have made. A blend of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc, it exhibits a dark plum/purple color along with a big, sweet bouquet of licorice, incense, roasted herbs, loamy soil, kirsch, black currants and underbrush. Medium to full-bodied with silky tannins and a round, opulent mouthfeel, this beauty can be drunk now and over the next 12-15 years. WA 93

Tasting note
2009年的多明納斯納帕努克展現了納帕谷釀酒的卓越工藝。這款酒擁有大膽而充滿活力的特質，散發出黑莓、泥土和煙草的香氣，隨後帶來滿口的黑櫻桃和可可風味。中等至飽滿的酒體和柔和、開放的質地使其極具吸引力，而李子、巧克力和輕微烤杏仁的味道則增添了層次感。該酒在20%新橡木桶中陳釀18個月，展現了堅實的單寧和長而精確的餘韻。無論是現在享用或在未來幾年內，搭配烤紅肉或烤羊肉都是絕佳的選擇。
The 2009 Dominus Estate Napanook is a testament to the excellence of Napa Valley winemaking. With a bold and vibrant character, this wine exudes scents of blackberry, earth, and tobacco, leading to a palate rich with flavors of black cherry and cocoa. The medium to full body and soft, open texture make it immediately appealing, while the notes of plum, chocolate, and lightly toasted almond add complexity. Aged in 20% new oak for 18 months, this wine showcases firm tannins and a long, precise finish. It is perfect for enjoying now or over the next few years, especially when paired with grilled red meats or roasted lamb.
