not a component is out of place
finishing long and mineral laced
A wine of gravitas and substance
wet earth and ripe yet fresh fruit
Extremely long and seamless finish
Opus One 1996 750mL (Slightly Soiled Label) Size:750mL not a component is out1996 Opus One Wine Advocate #126 Jan 2000: This is one of the finest Opus Ones to date, offering a dark ruby purple color, as well as a striking, intense bouquet of sweet licorice intermixed with blackberries, cassis, plums, and saddle leather. This seamless, full bodied wine is more velvety textured, opulent, and succulent than past vintages. The mid palate is expansive and chewy. The long finish is filled with glycerin, ripe fruit, and sweet tannin.
