  OMG pure heaven. There is no doubt that this wine isn’t still alive and kicking. Drinking beautifully now.
  Medium Ruby.
  Leather, balsamic earth, prune, blackberry, smoke. You can smell the age.
  Totally integrated tannins yet still alive with an edge. Silky smooth on the palate with long sweet finish.
  Drink now for perfection.

  meh. I have had many amazing Opus wines over the years and this wasn't one of them. 24 years of age and showing tired. secondary and tertiary notes on the nose and mouth. cedar, orange peel, forest floor, mushroom, muted fruit. finish was decent, tannins soft and fully integrated. if you have these drink up, as it is headed downhill.

  Although the wine was technically past its peak, this Bordeaux blend, made from 84% Cab, 5% Cab Franc, 6% Merlot, 3% Malbec, & 2% Petit Verdot grapes, was flavorful, smooth, and had an elegant & silky finish. Well balanced & structured the wine still had much to offer, but probably has a limited number of years remaining. Drink now. Thoroughly enjoyed drinking this 23 year old wine.

  Outstanding wine. Relaxed tannins, balanced fruit, great finish.
  
  My last tasting note scored it an 88. There was something different about this bottle than the last one. Or maybe I was just having a bad day. 🧐
