Kirjeldus

Opus One on Napas paiknev kultusveinimõis, mis loodi kahe veinimaailma ikooni Baron Philippe Rothschildi ning Robert Mondavi ühisprojektina 1979. aastal. Opus One on ka üks nendest mitte Bordeaux tippveinidest, mida nüüdseks suures osas ainult läbi Bordeaux veinibörsi (Place de Bordeaux) müüakse. Neid veine ei ole palju – Itaaliast: Masseto ja Solaia; Prantsusmaalt: Hommage a Jacques Perrin; Tšiilist: Sena, Almaviva ja Clos Apalta ning USA-st – Opus One.

Opus One on valmistatud 79% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc, 6% Merlot, 6% Petit Verdot ja 2% Malbec viinamarjadest. Kääritamine toimub terasmahutities viinamarjasortide kaupa eraldi. Vein laagerub 18 kuud 100% uutest Prantsuse tammevaatides ning enne müügile tulekut 18 kuud veel pudelis.

Aroom on väga puhas, tunda on seedrit, suitsu, uut nahka, tubakat, mustsõstraid, mustikaid, tumedat šokolaadi, värskeid ürte, münti ning metsaalust. Maitse on täidlane, tunda on šokolaadi ja sarapuupähkleid, hästi integreeritud ja siidised tanniinid.

“Glorious purity of fruit here with black currants, blueberries, dark chocolate, fresh herbs and forest floor. Hints of mint too, plus hazelnut and chocolate. Full body with seamless tannins and balance. Tight and compacted tannins with beautiful fruit and great length. Goes on for minutes. One of the best Opus’ in years. Hard not to drink now but better in 2018. October 2015 release. This is 79% cabernet sauvignon, 7% cabernet franc, 6% merlot, 6% petit verdot and 2% malbec.” James Suckling 97 points

“The iconic 2012 Proprietary Red Opus One is a blend of 79% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc, 6% Petit Verdot, 6% Merlot and 2% Malbec aged 18 months in French oak. A classy, complex, suave and savory 2012 Opus One, with notes of toasty oak and crème de cassis. This Pauillac lookalike, made by the staff at Mouton Rothschild, is a beauty. They have continued to strengthen the quality of wine and seem to have produced a brilliant, world-class wine. I imagine the 2013 may even eclipse this, but this 2012 is one of their great ones, with a seamless integration of acidity, tannin, alcohol and wood all present in this beautiful, full-bodied wine that should drink well for 25-30 years.” Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate 96 points
