Heiner Lobenberg om:
Opus One 2019

99–100
/100

Den legendariske Opus One er Robert Mondavis og Baron Philippe de Rothschilds vision om den perfekte vin. Vinmarkerne ligger i Oakville på den berømte "Oakville Alluvial Fan". Det er alluvial jord, præcis den slags jord, der giver Cabernet Sauvignon-druen potentiale til at vokse til absolut storhed. Den er modnet i 19 måneder på 100 procent nye franske barriques. Dyb rubinrød i farven med violette nuancer. Selv næsen dufter af forførelse, så fløjlsagtig og silkeblød. Cassis med surkirsebær, hibiscus, cremet mørk chokolademousse og duftende violer. Det fine vaniljekrydderi er så forbløffende smukt sammen med lidt muskatnød og laurbærblad og en spændende jernmineralitet. Smagen leverer, hvad næsen lover - et fløjlstæppe af røde kirsebær og cassis breder sig ud. Tanninerne er så fine og så smukke. Det lyder måske som en let vin, men den er ekstremt fyldig og mundfyldende på samme tid. Jeg kunne forelske mig i den! Først efter et øjeblik i glasset dukker der flere og flere smagsnuancer op. Heldigvis forbliver de pudrede, cremede tanniner på tungen. Dette er muskler i en ballerina-tutu. Men det er ikke overdrevet, alt passer harmonisk sammen. Strålende, en absolut mesterlig vin, som du kunne nyde ved frigivelsen, fordi den synger højt i en så fabelagtig balance. Men hvis du glemmer den i kælderen, kan du også virkelig nyde den, når du genopdager den. 99-100/100

Suckling om: Opus One

The purity of fruit is really something else here, with currants and fresh flowers, such as violets and roses. Flower stems as well. Fantastic length and structure to the wine, with tightness and focus. Wonderful fruit. Graceful. A blend of 78% cabernet sauvignon, 8% merlot, 7% petit verdot, 6% cabernet franc and 1% malbec. Try after 2028. 99/100

Jane Anson om: Opus One

The balance of the 2019 vintage in Napa is a pleasure to taste, and this is one of my favourite Opus One's for years, showing nuance, depth and concentration, and a ton of rich dark fruits. There is so much to love here, it ebbs and flows through the palate, has some of the character of the early years, those 1979s and 1980s that are still tasting incredible, and the utterly brilliant 1987. Rasberry, blueberry, damson, cassis, there are crunchy fruits and sweet fruits at the same time, playing off against each other, fine tannins, a full bloom of floral violet and peony aromatics, gentle woodsmoke and white pepper, with tension, depth and poise. 22 day skin contact. A wet winter meant a late bud break, 10-15 days behind average, followed by a hot summer that allowed the vines to catch up, so harvest relatively normal beginning Septemer 10 for one month. 98/100

Decanter om: Opus One

Intensely perfumed on the nose, rose petals, violets, deeply scented and seductive. Rich yet expansive on the palate, very open with dark chocolate, cherries, fragrant blackcurrant - sweet and scented, with satin-like tannins that effortlessly support the flavours. There is real drive and persistency to this, fresh, youthful and alive with a vibrant juiciness that is so appealing. No one element is too dominant, this feels harmonious and balanced with an excellent tangy acidity and long minty, herbal finish with edges of tobacco and dark chocolate. A classic Opus with breadth, finesse and energy. Grapes were harvested 10 days earlier than average, on 10th September with harvest lasting four weeks. 6% Cabernet Franc and 2% Malbec complete the blend. Ageing 19 months in new French oak. 98/100

Parker om: Opus One

Winemaker Michael Silacci commented that usually the blends are finished in January or February after the vintage. This year, with the 2019s, he was still tweaking the blend, but he did mention that this is "pretty close to the final blend."Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2019 Opus One leaps from the glass with notes of Black Forest cake, Morello cherries, mulberries and fresh blackcurrants plus hints of licorice, wilted roses, Sichuan pepper and iron ore. Full-bodied, the palate is jam-packed with juicy black, blue and red fruits, framed by velvety tannins and background freshness, finishing on a compelling earthy/mineral note. Tasted as a barrel sample, this is a truly magnificent Opus One in the making! 97-99/100
