2007 Opus One

Napa Valley Red Bordeaux Blend more

12/18/2011 - ronaldo wrote: 93 points

Dark ruby color, coffe, light tannins on initial taste. developed into a more full bodied wine after 3 hrs of decanting. This should be a great
Opus over time. Had the 2006 about 3 mos ago, which was excellent, but, this was clearly a much better vintage. Will open another bottle
2015.

Shallow depth. Next bottle will decant for 3 hrs...this bottles was opened, poured and opened in glass over 30 min.
Probably not fair to bouquet & taste?

Deep red, rich leather, currant, blackberry & lead. A very full bodied cab that will be much better in 5+ years.

This vintage has opened beautifully in the last 2 yrs. Nice leather & plum with vanilla. Great value wine that ranks up with the $100+ wines.

I'm very happy to finally get this vintage with a great bottle, as I have had 3 prior bottles oxidized. Dark golden color with hint of oak, peachy and some citrus.
Well balanced with a long finish.

Finally! A bottle of 2002 that was NOT oxidized! Citrus and pear, creamy with some acidity. Probably at it's peak.

2000 Château Le Gay Pomerol

Red Bordeaux Blend more

1/15/2011 - ronaldo wrote: 90 points

decanted in glass....as wine opened up, it became more impressive, but still weak on the nose (some leather & barnyard), and weak on pallet (some fruit and lead. good tannins, but not strong either. it seemed like Le Gay may want to age longer? will be interesting to see maturity after another 5 years.
