Opus One Napa 2007
One of the vintages of the decade, and this remains luscious, concentrated, easy to fall in love with. Incense, sandalwood, cocoa bean, cigar box, crushed mint, olive tapenade, graphite, pencil lead, sea spray, classic Cabernet Sauvignon check boxes, real kick of spice on the finish, stretches out with great tannic arcitecture and a cushion of fresh acidities. Trace of heat on the finish, takes it in its stride, generous but measured. 100% new French oak for ageing, 20 days skin contact, Michael Silacci winemaker.
