Extremely long and seamless finish
A wine of gravitas and substance
the 2008 Lafleur is a wine for which I have a lot of time
wet earth and ripe yet fresh fruit
wonderfully nuanced fruits
Opus One 1996 750mL (Slightly Soiled Label) Size:750mL Extremely long and seamless finish1996 Opus One Wine Advocate #126 Jan 2000: This is one of the finest Opus Ones to date, offering a dark ruby purple color, as well as a striking, intense bouquet of sweet licorice intermixed with blackberries, cassis, plums, and saddle leather. This seamless, full bodied wine is more velvety textured, opulent, and succulent than past vintages. The mid palate is expansive and chewy. The long finish is filled with glycerin, ripe fruit, and sweet tannin.
