Opus One 2006

Rich, damson and spiced plum notes, chocolate and roses, black olives, rosemary and cinnamon. A great year with depth and layers, well finessed tannins, a little subdued through the finish but the structure is there, and this is a serious wine. 3% Malbec and 3% Petit Verdot completes the blend. 26 days skin contact. Drinking window: 2019-2038. Score – 95. (Jane Anson, decanter.com, Sept. 19, 2019)
