Vinous – Antonio Galloni – 92-94/100
The 2023 La Dominique is powerful, rich and deep, but without sacrificing aromatic presence. Hints of black cherry, spice, new leather and licorice unfurl in the glass, lending plenty of striking, even exotic, beauty. A successful vintage for this venerable Saint-Émilion.
Vinous – Neil Martin – 92-94/100
The 2023 La Dominique has a well-defined bouquet: a mixture of red and black fruit, undergrowth and wilted rose petals. This is a much more refined example from the estate. The palate is medium-bodied with mocha-tinged fruit and moderate depth, quite old school in style with a touch of leather on the finish. It’s fine, but I would like just a tad more vivacity by the time of bottling. A second bottle toward the end of my tastings showed better than the first.
