Proefnotitie
De 'Opus One' is een geconcentreerde, mooi gestructureerde wijn die vooral weet te overtuigen met zijn geweldige aroma's en overvloed. In het glas presenteert hij zich robijnrood met purperen reflecties, in de neus charmeren zwarte aalbessen, moerbeien, rozen en viooltjes met een licht peperige toets. Op de tong verschijnen sappig bessenfruit, fijne specerijen en geroosterde tonen die zich harmonieus verbinden met fluweelzachte tannines. De grandioze afdronk profiteert van een aards-minerale toets. Nu al een schitterend opus en de tijd zal hem zeker nog goeddoen.

Extremely perfumed and floral with lavender, lilacs and violets to the sweet, ripe berries, such as blackberries and blackcurrants. Some slate and graphite, too. It’s full-bodied, yet ever so balanced and refined, with super fine tannins that last for minutes. Fresh herbs, such as bay leaf and lemon grass highlight the dark fruit. The quality of tannin is exquisite with wonderful polish and refinement. Lasts for minutes.

Very deep garnet-purple in color, the 2018 Opus One soars out of the glass with bright, bold boysenberries, warm cassis and ripe, juicy black plums notes, plus emerging nuances of lilacs, oolong tea, cinnamon stick, tilled soil and black truffles. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is packed with tightly wound layers of crunchy black fruits, supported by firm, grainy tannins and fantastic freshness, finishing with lifted fruitiness and on a lingering mineral note.

The 2018 Opus One is a blend of 84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Petit Verdot, and the rest Merlot and Cabernet Franc. This deep purple-hued effort leans to lively, fresher side of the vintage but has a brilliant, utterly classic style in its crème de cassis and blue-tinged fruit as well as notes of lead pencil, candied violets, damp earth, and chocolate-like nuances. With a Pomerol-like elegance and purity, it's medium to full-bodied and has wonderful tannins, flawless balance, and a great finish. It plays in the finesse-driven end of the spectrum yet is concentrated and seamless, with serious length. It offers pleasure today but should benefit from 4-5 years in the cellar, and my money is on it evolving for 30 years or more.
Past bij
Rood vlees zoals rund- en lamsvlees of wild, maar ook fantastisch bij een kaasplateau. Onze speciale tip: tajine!
