Opus One 2019

2019 delivers architectural precision wrapped in velvet sophistication and haunting floral aromatics.

The 2019 Opus One opens with an intoxicating bouquet that seems to float from the glass—violet petals mingle with crushed cassis and a whisper of cedar shavings. On the palate, this vintage reveals its architectural bones immediately: structured yet supple, with layers that unfold like chapters in a novel. Dark cherry compote flows into espresso-tinged chocolate, while tobacco leaf adds earthy complexity. The mid-palate shows remarkable density without heaviness, supported by tannins that feel almost silken despite their obvious presence. Petit Verdot and Malbec contribute backbone and spice, while Merlot softens the Cabernet's edges beautifully. The finish stretches endlessly, leaving traces of vanilla-kissed oak and mineral graphite. This vintage possesses the structure for thirty years of evolution, yet offers immediate pleasure for those lacking patience.

🍷 You seek a wine that bridges Old World elegance with New World generosity for life's most significant celebrations.
