Description
Opus One 19911bn, 2ts, 1vhs, 2nc, owc
Bottle (6)
Wines from the collection of a Texas wine pro. Most of these wines, including most of the ancients, were purchased winery-direct and imported straight into his temperature and humidity controlled cellar.
"Complex notes of meat, game, dried plum, black olive and dried Mediterranean herbs with a whiff of brett influence giving notes of sweaty saddles and a distinctive medicinal / band-aid character. The palate is nicely structured with a medium+ level of finely grained tannins and a crisp backbone of acidity fleshed out by an ample concentration of evolved fruit flavours. Long finish." (92 pts. Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Advocate, July 2009)
"The 1991 Opus One is completely different from its predecessors. The style is decidedly rich, voluptuous and opulent for the era. Sweet silky tannins support a creamy, expressive finish in a wine that is very much built on texture. Today the 1991 is showing beautifully. The slightly advancing aromatics suggest it is best enjoyed over the next decade. The 1991 is a racy Opus One long on personality. The blend is 93% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Cabernet Franc and 1% Merlot." (92 pts. Antonio Galloni, Vinous, June 2013)
