Opus One 2021

Opus One est un vin culte de la Napa Valley en Californie. Composé en large majorité de cabernet sauvignon, c'est un vin de garde puissant et racé. Opus One est élevé 18 mois en barriques puis affiné 18 mois en bouteille avant d'être commercialisé. Opus One est le rêve commun de Robert Mondavi et du Baron Philippe de Rothschild, qui souhaitaient tous deux créer de grands vins en Californie.

More in the structured style of the 2018 as opposed to the voluptuous style of the 2019, the 2021 Opus One is another riveting wine from this estate. Pure cassis, graphite, chocolate, and nicely integrated oak, as well as an undeniable sense of minerality, all emerge from the glass, and it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, building tannins, wonderful purity and precision, and a great finish. This is a classic Napa Valley Cabernet in the making, and it's going to evolve for 20-25 years if well stored.
