Description

OPUS ONE 2003

A lovely bottle of this fine wine in great condition, the label has a tiny nick to the top as seen in the images, the capsule is tight and also dated. The bottle has been well stored since purchase as is evident from the level which is into the neck.

OPUS ONE
Opus One is arguably Napa's most famous winery. It was established in 1979 as a joint venture between Baron Philippe de Rothschild (of Bordeaux First Growth Ch. Mouton Rothschild) and Robert Mondavi, conceived after the two met holidaying in Hawaii in the early ’70s. Their goal was to craft a wine that combined the intensity and fruit purity of Napa, with the elegance of top Bordeaux. The first vintage (1979) was released in 1984, and soon Opus One earned a reputation for remarkable elegance alongside its peers. Today it is one of the most iconic and revered wines made in California, and the world.


2003 Opus One Napa Valley Bordeaux Blend

94 points Wine Advocate
This blend of 91% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Merlot and Malbec aged 17 months in French oak is a strong effort offering creme de cassis, cedarwood, white chocolate and spice box. It possesses a Bordeaux-like personality, as one might expect since Opus One is owned by Baroness Philippe de Rothschild and the winemaking team comes primarily from Pauillac. The significant tannin in the wine provides a slight austerity, but this is a full-bodied, rich effort that marks the beginning of a period when Opus One finally began to live up to the enormous potential first announced in the late 1970s by the late Baron Philippe de Rothschild and the late Robert Mondavi. Although accessible now, the 2003 will benefit from another 4-5 years of cellaring and should keep for two decades. (RP) (6/2013)
