Lisa Perrotti-Brown - Wine Independent: 92-94/100
La Dominique 2023 has a deep garnet-purple color. It jumps from the glass with notes of juicy plums, strawberry preserves, and wild thyme notes, plus hints of tar and licorice. The medium to full-bodied palate is velvety and generous, with bags of freshness and a mineral-laced finish.
Antonio Galloni - Vinous: 90-92/100
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-Emilion.
