Opus One 2008

About this product

TASTING NOTE : ... Good red - ruby color . Rather wild , nuanced nose combines blackcurrant , dusty brown spices , tobacco , mocha , leather and meat . Juicy and energetic in the mouth , with enticing inner - mouth florality giving lift to the dark berry , licorice and bitter chocolate flavors . Not a particularly dense or fruity style but boasts nicely integrated acidity and already displays a lot of personality . Finishes with substantial but fine - grained tannins , a hint of licorice and excellent persistence ... Score : 93 ( Stephen Tanzer , International Wine Cellar , May / June 2011 )
