CRITIC REVIEWS
Antonio Galloni
The 2011 Opus One is an elegant, lithe wine. Floral and savory aromatics lend freshness to this understated, classy Opus One. Sweet red berry fruit, dried herbs, blood orange and cinnamon lend notable complexity from start to finish. I imagine the 2011 will drink beautifully for another 10-15 years, maybe more. The 2011 has softened quite a bit over the last decade.

71% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Merlot, 9% Petit Verdot, 8% Cabernet Franc and 1% Malbec. 17 days skin contact. 18 months in new French oak. Very wet winter and spring through to flowering in June. Disrupted fruit set. 45% harvested early and avoided an October storm, the rest of the harvest delayed by a week because of the storm. Looks quite evolved at the rim. Dark garnet. Not the same intensity as the others. Lively and fresh but quite different! Really rather bordelais transparency. Sinewy. Fresh but unlikely to be very long-lived. Very different from the rest of the line-up.
