Opus One 2000

The 2000 millennium vintage reveals Opus One's most harmonious expression yet.

Twenty-three years have transformed this Bordeaux-style blend into something transcendent. The nose opens with concentrated cassis liqueur and espresso bean intensity, layered beneath cedar shavings and pipe tobacco complexity. On the palate, velvety black cherry mingles with dark chocolate ganache, while vanilla oak provides structural backbone without overwhelming the fruit core. The mouthfeel flows like liquid silk, with tannins that have evolved from their youthful grip into polished elegance. Hints of leather and caramel emerge mid-palate, building toward a finish that lingers for minutes with waves of tobacco leaf and espresso. This vintage captures the essence of why Opus One commands such reverence—power married to finesse in perfect equilibrium.
