Opus One

Opus One 1983

Opus One

Case Format: 1x75cl

Max score: 88.0

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 fine-grained tannins. Its freshness and soft acidity creates a subtle tension between the dark fruit flavours, savoury herbs, espresso, and cocoa. A delicate dark chocolate bitterness lingers after each sip.

Jane Anson

A rainy August was followed by dry windy September that protected the grapes from rot and overall the yield was extremely low, which made the wines concentrated and a little tough when young, but this has some lovely savoury character at this point, with dried herb notes of rosemary and anise. A challenging vintage and again the wine starts out well but drops off a little in the glass, now on the far side of its drinking window. 16 days skin contact.
