A powerful yet graceful expression that marries Napa's intensity with Bordeaux refinement.
The nose opens with concentrated cassis and dark chocolate, followed by cedar shavings and a hint of tobacco leaf. On the palate, velvety tannins frame layers of black cherry and espresso, while vanilla undertones add richness without overwhelming. The finish lingers with notes of graphite and dried herbs. This 2003 vintage has reached its drinking window beautifully, showing the mature complexity that makes Opus One so compelling.
🍷 You're celebrating a milestone achievement and want a wine that commands respect at the table.
Pairs with: dry-aged ribeye with herb crust, braised short ribs with red wine reduction, aged manchego and dark chocolate, roasted rack of lamb with rosemary
