TASTING NOTES

COLOR: Opus One 2018 displays a deep ruby red, almost opaque, that attracts the eye with its density and brilliance. On the rim, violet hues can be appreciated, announcing its youth and cellaring potential.

NOSE: As it approaches the glass, it reveals an aromatic complexity that unfolds slowly, like a fan of notes. In the foreground, ripe black fruits dominate: blackberry, cassis and plum, accompanied by light floral reminiscences. As the wine breathes, additional layers of soft spice, tobacco and a subtle earthy touch emerge, complemented by an elegant background of delicately perceived French oak, bringing hints of vanilla and cocoa.

TASTE: On the palate, the 2018 Opus One offers an enveloping and rich texture, perfectly balancing power and softness. The tannins are firm yet refined, leaving a sense of freshness and structure that defines its character. Black fruit flavors are amplified, merging with nuances of bitter chocolate and dried herbs. The palate is long and enveloping, with a lingering, delicately spiced finish that promises a fascinating evolution over time.
