Vintage 2003
90 points
Light yellow colour; very mellow and richly mature, bready, cracked-yeast and smoky pinoty, almost Vegemite aromas. Some straw. But not a fascinating bouquet in any way. Full in the mouth, ample and generous with lots of body and toasty/bready pinoty richness. A weighty wine indeed. Full-bodied and yet quite fresh in the mouth, with life and balance, the acidity doing its job but not over-apparent, neither is the dosage. A faint hint of chewy phenolic thickness doesn't get in the way of enjoyment when you taste (but it does later when you try to drink a glassful). Long finish that keeps on giving. Good but not a wine of finesse, nor detail. In summary, a disappointing Dom.
