Opus One 2019 作品一號 2019

Opus One Winery, an iconic Napa Valley producer, crafts prestigious Bordeaux-style blends led by Cabernet Sauvignon. Established in 1979 through a collaboration between Baron Philippe de Rothschild and Robert Mondavi, it quickly gained global acclaim. The estate's flagship wine, aged meticulously in French oak, exemplifies luxury and precision. Its second label, Overture, offers a refined alternative. Opus One's legacy of excellence and innovation continues to shape the world of fine wines.

Opus One 2019 showcases intense aromas of black plum, blueberry, and black currant, with floral hints and mineral undertones. Its creamy texture is balanced by fine-grained tannins. The wine offers a harmonious interplay of dark fruit flavors, savory herbs, espresso, and cocoa, with a subtle tension from acidity. The finish reveals a delicate dark chocolate bitterness, culminating in a sophisticated and lingering taste experience.

Rating:

James Suckling 99 points: "The purity of fruit is really something else here, with currants and fresh flowers, such as violets and roses. Flower stems as well. Fantastic length and structure to the wine, with tightness and focus. Wonderful fruit. Graceful. A blend of 78% cabernet sauvignon, 8% merlot, 7% petit verdot, 6% cabernet franc and 1% malbec. Try after 2028." – Tasted April 2022

Wine Advocate 99 Points: “Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2019 leaps from the glass with notes of Black Forest cake, Morello cherries, mulberries and fresh blackcurrants plus hints of licorice, wilted roses, Sichuan pepper and iron ore. Full-bodied, the palate is jam-packed with juicy black, blue and red fruits, framed by velvety tannins and background freshness, finishing on a compelling earthy/mineral note. Tasted as a barrel sample, this is a truly magnificent Opus One in the making!” – Tasted March 2021
