The red wine Opus One, vintage 2005 from the winery Opus One Winery has been rated in 2018 by Peter Moser with 93 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape varieties Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec from the region Napa Valley in United States.
Dark ruby, purple reflections, subtle brightening on the rim. Underlaid with a touch of eucalyptus, fine cassis, a touch of red berry, fine oak spice, subtle nougat and a touch of sea buckthorn, fresh herbs, and orange zest. The elegant palate is juicy, with fine fruit, pronounced but well-integrated tannins, pleasant acidity, taut and dark minerality with some dark chocolate and on the long, spicy finish. Still seems quite youthful and has years ahead of it.
More about the tastingDark ruby garnet, violet reflections, delicate watery rim. Rich, dark berry confit, blackberries and cassis, fine chocolate notes, a hint of dried herbs, hints of precious wood. Juicy, elegant, has a silky texture, seamlessly integrated tannins and a fine red berry fruit finish. Very good length, promising potential, fine herbal spice on the finish, clearly reveals its origin.
