Upon opening, this wine reveals dense aromas of kirsch and linzer torte, immediately enveloping the senses in layers of dark fruit and pastry-like sweetness. As it unfolds, notes of smoldering tobacco, leather, and warm paving stone emerge, adding depth and complexity. There's a brooding edge to the back end, with hints of licorice root adding a subtle earthiness. Despite its youth, the 2020 Dominus displays surprising restraint, showcasing impressive balance and refinement. On the palate, it rolls out with expressive flavors of baked blackberries, preserved plums, and kirsch, conveying a sense of richness and opulence. Subtle nuances of Indian spices, sandalwood, potpourri, and black truffles further enhance the tasting experience, offering a symphony of flavors that linger long after each sip.
