Details
Opus One--Vintage 1997
Napa Valley. Mondavi/Rothschild
Lot 1044: Three bottles of this lot are offered in a carton. Lot 1045 is also offered in a carton
Tasting Note: The 1997 tastes as if it were made from yields that were too high. They may tell you it is elegant and complex, but, truthfully, there is not much depth, and the wine will have a relatively short lifeline of 10-12 years. A dark ruby color is accompanied by a complex nose of plums, black cherries, currants, smoke, and leather. The wine reveals more new oak than normal for Opus, as well as medium body, good depth, dry, hard tannins in the finish, and little weight or length. Drink this over the next 8-10 years.
