It's been years since I opened one of these and the wine is still way too tannic, simple, and even a little sour. Maybe ready in 2030 but I won't bother waiting - time to sell.

I've drank 4.5 out of 6 bottles that I acquired on auction with a very reputable company. I've noted a fair amount of bottle variation but not drastic. This is definitely wine that is past its peak, but I still enjoy it and I still find it notably Opus for a domestic. Would I buy it again? No. Am I happy to have had the opportunity to drink it? Yes. Can it be improved? Yes. Just add about 1 parts 10-15 year old left bank Bordeaux to 2 parts Opus and it's unique and readily holds up well to a nice filet mignon. Don't let an old wine that you think is weak cause you to cast it aside! Give it some life with something else you like, experiment a little. Have fun!

Delicious, medium-light body with good citrus and modest fruit. Very tasty and smooth. A good 1st Cru for less than $70.
