94 Dominus/97 Cornerstone & Catherine Zeta Jones

WINE TALK
1

Last night a good friend came over to watch the Lakers with me…in addition to getting out of control, we managed to cook up some NY Strip Steaks, roasted some Yukon gold potatoes and some spinach with bacon. He brought over the 94 Dominus and I contributed the 97 Cornerstone “Black Sears Vyd” Cab. Then we opened a 2007 Roar Syrah “Rosellas” then we got into a heated debate about the age of Catherine Zeta Jones, which according to Wikipedia is 40 this year - he still doesn’t believe me. Then we broke a glass sending wine all over the rug in the living room…Damn, how am I going to explain that one.

The 94 Dominus was very good but no where near a 99 pt experience on this night. Nose was gamey, with leather and tar. Palate was showing some acid, leather, dark/truffley fruit but it could have used a little more punch through the midpalate. Very nice, very bdx like and probably 92/100

the 1997 Cornerstone Cellars “Black Sears Vineyard” was richer with gamey dark fruit, creosote, cassis and black licorice. Plenty of punch in the middle with a nice long finish. Tannins completely integrated it’s in its prime drinking window…93/100

The rug is soaking in Resolve and I hope to have a spectacular clean up before Traci gets home from her trip

Great notes.
If she’s 40, I’m 25.

Thanks for posting. sounds like a good Thursday night.

When you look like that, what difference does it make if she’s 40, 50, or 35?

I remember somebody telling me once at a dinner party that a background check on her done when she visited the White House revealed she was actually 10 years older than her “official” bio. Of course, this is FAR from having any credibility–I just put it out there to say that I come down on the side of whoever was arguing that she is older than 40!

Anyway, to avoid total thread drift, thanks for the note on the Dominus!

Sounds like I need to pull the corks on those Dominus Mags I’ve been hoarding…

I never felt it was 99 points, but I never thought Catherine was 40 (except 10 years ago! hahahah)

If any of you have '97 Dominus sitting around, it’s ROCKING right now, absolutely in stride.

Who freakin’ cares…

I bow to your ineffable logic. A picture is worth a thousand words indeed!

if every 40-50 y/o woman looked as fine as CZJ the world would be a happier place.
