Opus One

Case Format: 75cl

Max score: 16.5

Drink To: 2022-2025

Opus One is the realised dream of two men: Baron Philippe de Rothschild of Chateau Mouton Rothschild in Bordeaux and Napa Valley vintner Robert Mondavi. Together, they set out to create a single wine that harnessed the unrivalled winemaking of Bordeaux, whilst reaping the benefits of Napa Valley’s outstanding terroir. Opus One has intense aromas of black plum, blueberry, blackcurrant, and dried rose petals, punctuated by undertones of minerality. The creamy, satin texture is framed by ?ne-grained tannins. Its freshness and soft acidity creates a subtle tension between the dark fruit ?avours, savoury herbs, espresso, and cocoa. A delicate dark chocolate bitterness lingers after each sip.

Full bottle 1,363 g. This 2022 release of Opus One's non-vintage second wine is a blend of 2019 and 2018. 95% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Merlot, 1% Petit Verdot, 1% Cabernet Franc. Aged for 18 months in French oak. Transparent crimson. Warm red-fruit nose with some herbal quality and a little briariness somehow. Sweet palate entry and only just sufficient acidity for my taste but only the lightest of tannins. This seems ready to drink already although it's not going to decline that fast. Neat, medium finish. Much, much lighter than stereotypical Napa Cabernet! Top-quality oak and hands-off winemaking in evidence but it's very much lighter than Opus One itself. (JR)
