OPUS ONE
Lying in Weybridge, Surrey (EHD)
Opus One--Vintage 1991
Napa Valley. Mondavi/Rothschild
In six-bottle original wooden cases
Tasting Note: Opus One's 1991 is a gorgeously rich, opaque ruby/purple-coloured wine with a knock-out nose of smoke, cassis, vanilla, and a whiff of herbs and liquorice. Full-bodied, with surprisingly supple, concentrated, chocolatey, cassis, and blackcurrant flavours that ooze across the palate, this voluptuously-textured example of Opus One is atypical in a vintage that produced so many backward wines. There is no question the wine possesses plenty of tannin, but it is admirably concealed by the copious quantities of concentrated fruit. This Opus can be drunk now as well as over the next 15+ years. Robert Parker. Wine Advocate 97 (February 1995)
