5/15/2023 0 Comments Opus one review![]() ![]() Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, it slowly grows on the nose, revealing compelling notes of baked black cherries, mulberries, black raspberries, warm cassis and blackberry pie with nuances of spice cake, yeast extract, tapenade, licorice and dusty soil with a waft of wild sage. “The 2017 Opus One, bottled in July 2019, is a blend of 81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8.5% Petit Verdot, 5% Cabernet Franc, 4.5% Merlot and 1% Malbec. “Call it a hat trick: Opus One knocks it out of the park with three excellent, if very different, takes on the last string of vintages: 2015, 20.”ĩ5 Points – Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate We’ll just drop this from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate quote here: These are moving faster than free funnel cakes at the county fair. And just think of how hard you can flex on Instagram with one of these bottle shots!Įnough of the razzle dazzle. Like swimming with dolphins, participating in the Gloucester Cheese Run, and releasing baby turtles into the ocean, it’s a bucket list type adventure for your palate. No matter your wine budget, or how full your pile, stash, cellar, allocations may be, you NEED these. Opus One, as you know, hardly needs any clarifying verbiage other than “ROCKS YOUR FACE OFF”. You will be on the winning side.Īlthough we do get to taste these gems every vintage, we are not pretentious enough to include our own tasting notes as tabulating the scribbles did not amount to much more than a bunch of oohs and aahs, with parental advisory explicit jargon scattered in between. Can too-much-of-a-good thing really be a thing? Prove us wrong, clean us out. Still in disbelief as you may prove us wrong. ![]() Never thought we’d see enough of these to go around. How this day came about blows our little spy minds too. Not one, not two, but THREE vintages of the wine, the myth, the legend! Including jaw-droppingly rare magnums, all at offensively low prices that you simply will not find elsewhere, guaranteed. Today, beloved Operatives, we bring you VINOUS MAGIC. ![]()
