Professionele reviews

Robert Parker (96)

Blended of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc, 6% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot and 2% Malbec, the Opus One 2014 Proprietary Red Wine sports an inky purple color and nose of crushed black and red currants, black cherries and mulberries with touches of underbrush, sautéed herbs and pencil shavings plus a waft of spice box. Medium-bodied, finely crafted and with an energetic line lifting the red and black fruits, it has a bold frame of grainy tannins and a very long, earth and spice-layered finish.

James Suckling (97)

Mesmerizing aromas of flowers, bark, currants and blackberries. So perfumed. You just want to smell it. Exquisite tension and finesse with an almost Burgundian texture, yet it?s Napa in its soul with ripe fruit, stones, spices and Chinese tea leaf flavors. Savory and delicious.

Falstaff (96)

Dark ruby garnet with purple reflexes and a touch of edge brightening. Liquorice and cassis mark the somewhat restrained nose, with some cardamom, fresh orange zest and fine wood spice in the background - it will benefit from some air. Complex and very elegant on the palate, with a tightly woven structure that's pronounced in fruit texture and supported by fine acidity. A chocolaty aftertaste rounds off a full-bodied and persistent palate, with black cherries dominant on the long finish.
