Tasting notes
The 2014 Opus One boasts a deep, vibrant red color. The nose opens with aromas of ripe black fruit, blackcurrant, and blackberry, accompanied by subtle notes of dark chocolate and spice. On the palate, the texture is velvety, with well-integrated tannins and a lovely acidity that provides remarkable freshness. The finish is long and persistent, leaving a lingering impression of candied fruit and delicately toasted oak.

The Opus One vineyard benefits from an exceptional microclimate, characterized by sunny days and cool nights, promoting slow and even ripening of the grapes. The soils, composed of clay, limestone, and gravel, impart a unique minerality that is reflected in the wine. The vines, cultivated with meticulous care, are pruned to optimize grape quality, allowing each varietal to fully express its potential. This attention to detail is reflected in the complexity and balance of Opus One.
