94/100
Decanter
Opus One
, USA
2022 Overture
Auslieferung bis zum Frühjahr 2026!
Delivery until Spring 2026!
(Oakville, Napa Valley; 94% Cabernet Sauvignon; 3% Cabernet Franc; 3% Merlot; 1.5% Malbec; 0.5% Petit Verdot; 13.5% alcohol). Gloriously aromatic and very open when tasted in the Bordeaux offices of Opus One. From a vintage with a very long heat spike, this is early harvested, above all the Merlot. Lavender. More graphite than cedar. There are delightful wild herbal notes too. Refined but not exactly delicate, it’s more expressive than that. A touch of walnut shell. Graphite shavings. Wild rosemary and a little garrigue herb. Texturally this is incredibly fine, beautifully silky and glassy at first and then with a lift and freshness that builds upwards from the mid-palate in a way you don’t quite expect. Really superb. Very aerial and yet also very well-sustained on the finish. And with such gracious tannins.
