Description

Opus One 1997
owc
Bottle (6)

The Steel Pier Collection, Part II: We’re excited to present a fresh wave of selections from The Steel Pier Collection, highlights include several standout lots of Dominus, vertical offerings of Araujo, and multiple vintages of Sassicaia — all in excellent condition and stored in ideal, temperature-controlled conditions.

"A rich, decidedly earthy style of Opus, showing currant, anise, black cherry, mineral, leather and sage flavors that are focused and complex." (94 pts. James Laube, Wine Spectator, Nov. 2000)

"The 1997 Opus One tastes like it was made yesterday, not 16 years ago. One of the most opulent, racy wines in this vertical, the 1997 literally explodes from the glass. Juicy dark red cherries, menthol, tobacco and licorice all make an appearance as the 1997 opens up over time. Reader holding the 1997 are in for a thrill. Even though the growing season was defined by hot weather, a short maturation cycle and a large crop, the wine turned out beautifully." (95 pts. Antonio Galloni, Vinous, June 2013)
