CRITIC REVIEWS
Stephen Brook
Climatically, 2016 was a moderate year, with a cool summer and ample rainfall, and the wines turned out well. The blackberry-scented nose is intense and vibrant, while the palate is sleek and juicy, with ample body and more spice than usual. Although it seems to lack some weight and flesh now, its balanced and has a long, tannic finish, if slightly less forceful than expected.
Jane Anson
Love the juiciness of this, right off the bat, rich deep black cherry rippling with menthol and eucalyptus notes, and these beautiful floral aromatics that Opus gets in the best years. A very classic style, touches of baked vanilla, rosemary and olive. Harvest 9th September to 12th October (starting off slowly then speeding up as the heat rose). 1% Malbec, 8% Petit Verdot completes the blend, 17 days skin contact.
