Community Tasting Note

Michael Hung Likes this wine:

Friday, February 18, 2022 - Opus One Family Exploration (Rockwell Rooftop Lounge): [Tasted Blind]
A: deep dark ruby
N: med+ intensity, red currant, black currant, black cherry, cassis, red plum, red plum, lavender, bell pepper, baking spices, vanilla, toast (youthful)
P: pronounced, black currant, black cherry, cassis, red currant, bell pepper, tomato leaf, lavender, tobacco, vanilla, a bit spicy

High alcohol, med+ acid, med+ length, dry, med+ tannin. A bit strong and hot PnP, but opens up well and got better over the next 2-3 hours. What a youthful wine, almost thinking it needs at least a few more years to really start evolving. Came off as a bit aggressive and hot to me right now, but I can see this growing and integrating beautifully over the next 3-5 years. Did not find any tertiary notes at all. Spicy pepper notes did not show too well with the strong alcohol, but was very interesting nonetheless. Well made wine, probably just needs time. 93+ pt
