2013 Opus One, Napa Valley 1x750ml

Vinous 96

The 2013 Opus One is a powerful, dense wine. A blast of dark-fleshed fruit, leather, spice, tobacco, menthol and licorice races across the palate. The 2013 still possesses notable textural depth. The aromatics are a bit open and also suggestive of a wine that has entered its first plateau of maturity. [Antonio Galloni, 01/12/2025]

Anticipated maturity: 2024-2038

Deep garnet colored, the 2013 Opus One needs a little swirling before exploding with preserved black and blue fruitsa blueberry compote, blackberry pie and blackcurrant cordiala giving way to notes of unsmoked cigars, new leather, beef drippings and menthol with wafts of roasted rosemary and rose oil. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is both powerful and ethereal, charged with energy and backed up by profound black fruits, supported with plush tannins and seamless freshness, finishing very long and beautifully perfumed.
