2014 Opus One, Napa Valley, California, USA

Description

Dense, almost opaque in the glass with initial herbal/menthol top notes and clean oak/new leather aromas underneath, then in comes beautifully fresh fruit - dark cherry, blackberry and blueberry with a complement of vanilla and milk chocolate. There is plenty of firm but measured tannin here and great texture lifted by bright acidity. There is more savoury complexity of earth and forest floor on the palate and whilst the length is open and fresh the tannins gently nip in the finish so as not to reveal everything too early. A beautifully balanced Opus and elegance personified as we have come to expect from this leading estate.
