Lot 189 Details
OPUS ONE 2003 (4 hf. bt.)
Napa Valley.
u. 4 x tx. 1 x peeling label. 4 x marked labels.
It possesses a Bordeaux-like personality, as one might expect since Opus One is owned by Baroness Philippe de Rothschild and the winemaking team comes primarily from Pauillac. The significant tannin in the wine provides a slight austerity, but this is a full-bodied, rich effort that marks the beginning of a period when Opus One finally began to live up to the enormous potential first announced in the late 1970s by the late Baron Philippe de Rothschild and the late Robert Mondavi. Although accessible now, the 2003 will benefit from another 4-5 years of cellaring and should keep for two decades. June 2013 Drink: 2017-2037 WA 94
