James Suckling: 98 Points

"Loads of dark tobacco aromas with blackcurrants and black olives. Boysenberries too. Full to medium body ultra-fine tannins and lots of flavors of smoke dried roasted chillis black truffles mushrooms and fruit. Bright acidity on the finish. Sexy and subtle austerity. Alluring. Very approachable now but better in 2021."

Wine Advocate: 97 Points

"The 2014s where the production of Napanook was only 2200 cases and Dominus slightly more than the 2015 at 4000 cases was another early harvest although somewhat later than 2015. The 2014 Dominus which is 86% Cabernet Sauvignon 7% Cabernet Franc and 7% Petit Verdot really struts its stuff. Moueix?s belief in dry farming seems to be paying off with stronger and stronger vintages each successive year and the 2014 is a sexy opulent layered multidimensional wine with notes of red and blackcurrant cedar wood tobacco leaf spice box and licorice. The color is a dense plum/ruby/purple much like the Napanook. This is a beauty that is already drinking gorgeously ? as most 2014s are ? and will continue to evolve for 25 or so years."

Vinous: 96+ Points

"The 2014 Dominus is endowed with tons of depth power and muscle. Black cherry plum smoke menthol licorice chocolate dried herbs and dark spices are all pushed forward. Deep pliant and exquisitely layered the 2014 possesses tons of concentration and mid-palate depth. Like so many wines in this vintage the 2014 comes across as a hybrid of 2013 and 2012. I very much like the energy and focus in this wine. This is a fabulous wine in every way. With time in the glass the flavors gain in brightness and focus. There is certainly much to look forward to."
