Der Kultwein Opus One aus dem Napa Valley in Kalifornien ist ein kräftiger und erlesener Rotwein, der hauptsächlich aus Cabernet Sauvignon besteht. Opus One wird 18 Monate in Fässern gelagert und dann für weitere 18 Monate in der Flasche gereift, bevor er auf den Markt gebracht wird. Opus One ist der gemeinsame Traum von Robert Mondavi und Baron Philippe de Rothschild, die beide grosse Weine in Kalifornien kreieren wollten.

Ratings

Vinous

Bright, dark red with ruby highlights. Very dark aromas of black cherry, cassis, blueberry and licorice. Then rather plush, sweet and full for Opus One, conveying a chocolatey ripeness to its dark berry flavors. Finishes with smooth tannins that build without going dry. This wine was broad and smooth from the outset. Today it's a generous mouthful but a bit clunky compared to some more recent vintages. This was reportedly the first vintage to include a significant percentage of Petit Verdot, and that may explain the wine's emphasis on black and blue fruits. (14.5% alcohol) - ST 03/2019

Suckling

Aromas of orange peel, currants, olives and subtle rosemary. Full body with a beautiful balance of fine tannins and a fresh finish. Super-refined and beautiful. Better in 2015 but just drinking beautifully now. This 81% cabernet sauvignon, 9% cabernet franc, 4% merlot, 4% petit verdot and 2% malbec.
