Product Description

JA94"Bright cherry red, vibrant feel overall. The soft rose petal aromatics needs a little coaxing to come out, then head quickly to blond tobacco, grilled almonds, cold ash, and softly brushed leather. This is utterly charming, silken-spun tannins, delicate and balanced, effortless, similar in character to the stunning inaugural vintage of 1979. So moreish, with mouthwatering grip and saline salty crackers on the finish. A gentle, take-your-time kind of a wine. 15 days skin contact, winemakers Lucien Sionneau and Tim Mondavi." Jane Anson for Inside Bordeaux Jun 2022

The 1983 Opus One is absolutely impeccable. Dark red cherries, plums, licorice, tobacco and leather meld together in a wine that is all about balance. Soft and engaging, the 1983 is a great choice for drinking now and over the next decade. The 1983 isn't as huge or structured as some of the other vintages in this vertical, but it is drop-dead gorgeous. (AG)" (June 2013)
