The 1979 vintage marked the first release of Opus One, a joint venture between pioneering Californian winemaker Robert Mondavi and the late Baron Philippe de Rothschild. The 2018 vintage is a blend of 84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Petit Verdot, 5% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 1% Malbec aged for 17 months in new French oak.
Offering up aromas of blackberry, cassis and black cherry. Elegant notes of violets, white pepper and rose petals follow. The seamlessly layered flavours build to a crescendo of fresh and juicy black-fruit, accented with hints of orange zest, liquorice and dark chocolate. Beautifully balanced, the smooth round tannins and fresh acidity combine to create a soft, creamy mouthfeel, concluding on a long persistent finish.
