Beskrivelse

Opus One er en ikonisk amerikansk vin, skabt af Baron Philippe de Rothschild og Robert Mondavi i 1978. Vinen kombinerer Bordeaux-traditioner med Napa Valleys terroir.

Opus One har opretholdt sin status ved at efterstræbe en køligere stil end typisk for Napa Valley. Druerne høstes om natten og kunstvandes for at efterligne Bordeaux-forhold. Produktionen er på omkring 300.000 flasker årligt.

The iconic 2012 Proprietary Red Opus One is a blend of 79% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc, 6% Petit Verdot, 6% Merlot and 2% Malbec aged 18 months in French oak. A classy, complex, suave and savory 2012 Opus One, with notes of toasty oak and crème de cassis. This Pauillac lookalike, made by the staff at Mouton Rothschild, is a beauty. They have continued to strengthen the quality of wine and seem to have produced a brilliant, world-class wine. I imagine the 2013 may even eclipse this, but this 2012 is one of their great ones, with a seamless integration of acidity, tannin, alcohol and wood all present in this beautiful, full-bodied wine that should drink well for 25-30 years.

Robert Parker 96 point.
