1996 Opus One
Community Tasting Note
ONEFIVE Likes this wine:
Sunday, February 25, 2024 - Showing a bit of age with some bricking at the edge.
Tobacco, dark red fruit, pencil shavings, and a bit of vanilla bean. There is a slight bit of brett but this is a fairly clean bottle.
Med weight, med acid, med tannin.
There is some subtlety to this wine that is quite enjoyable however, it feels the fruit needs some coaxing to come out on the palate. Should improve with air, will update if it doesn't. Drink now and over the next 10 years.
Update: opened up nicely. Still a bit bretty but the fruit came around with air. Nice bottle.
