The 2017 Opus One is a masterfully composed wine, presenting an elegant aromatic interplay of dark fruit, rose petal, and earthy forest floor. On the palate, it delivers a silky, rounded mouthfeel balanced by refined acidity, unveiling layers of black cassis, cherry, and a delicate touch of cocoa powder. Fine-grained tannins provide structure and poise, leading to a long, supple finish—marking this as both immediately captivating and supremely age-worthy.
