In this mini-vertical, the 2016 most closely resembles the 2014, although it has more mid-palate sweetness and overall depth, along with a slightly darker profile. (Sep 2019)"ĩ6+ points Antonio Galloni ( Vinous): "The 2016 Opus One has turned out beautifully.
2016 opus one for sale skin#
1% Malbec, 8% Petit Verdot completes the blend, 17 days skin contact. Harvest 9th September to 12th October (starting off slowly then speeding up as the heat rose). A very classic style, touches of baked vanilla, rosemary and olive. (Oct 2019)"ĩ8 points Jane Anson ( Decanter): "Love the juiciness of this, right off the bat, rich deep black cherry rippling with menthol and eucalyptus notes, and these beautiful floral aromatics that Opus gets in the best years. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is a tightly coiled spring ready to explode, with fantastic tension and wonderfully ripe, very fine-grained tannins, finishing very long with a mineral lift. (5/3/19)"ĩ8 points Lisa Perrotti-Brown ( Wine Advocate): "Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Opus One offers up bold, expressive black and blue fruits: warm black plums, black cherries, blackcurrants and wild blueberries with a beautiful undercurrent of lilacs, roses, fertile loam, underbrush and Indian spices. Needs at least three to five years to come together. Full-bodied yet linear and very refined with a very persistent finish. 99 points James Suckling: "Fantastic aromas that are complex and complete with blackcurrants, blueberries and herbs, such as basil and bay leaf.
