Tasting notes
Very deep garnet-purple in colour, the 2018 Opus One soars out of the glass with bright, bold boysenberries, warm cassis and ripe, juicy black plums notes, plus emerging nuances of lilacs, oolong tea, cinnamon stick, tilled soil, and black truffles. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is packed with tightly wound layers of crunchy black fruits, supported by firm, grainy tannins, and fantastic freshness, finishing with lifted fruitiness and on a lingering mineral note.

About this wine
Two of the strongest wines ever made at Opus One, the 2007 has terrific black currant fruit, liquorice, incense, and subtle smoke, an opulent, even voluptuous mouthfeel, dazzling purity and texture, and a skyscraper-like mouthfeel. This is a sensational Opus One, with sweet tannin and impressive precision and depth.
