Opus One 2013

The 2013 vintage delivers Opus One's most seamless marriage of intensity and refinement.

The 2013 Opus One emerges from the glass with an almost architectural precision that defines great Bordeaux blends. Blackcurrant liqueur mingles with espresso bean aromatics, while cedar shavings and dried tobacco leaves create layers of complexity. On the palate, this wine demonstrates remarkable restraint despite its obvious power - dark cherry fruit cascades across refined tannins that feel more like silk than sandpaper. The mid-palate reveals hints of dark chocolate and vanilla, though never overwhelming the fruit's purity. What distinguishes this vintage is its crystalline focus; each component feels perfectly calibrated. The finish extends for nearly a minute, leaving traces of graphite minerality and sweet spice. This wine will reward patience, reaching its peak between 2025-2040.

🍷 You're celebrating a milestone achievement and want a wine that matches the gravitas of the moment.
