1991 Opus One
(USA / California / Napa / Oakville )
Reviewed by:

Rated:
97 pts
Ahhh, this was back in the day when Opus One was actually one of the best red blends out of California. Since 1997 the quality has fallen off considerably but this 1991 might be one of the finest efforts from Opus One.
A bit restrained at first, finally the plums, cedar, spice box and very noticeable gunflint started to emerge. The nose in a word was FAT! What distinguished this wine from the others was a mindblowing midpalate with several layers of flavor. It had strong acidity and balanced but noticeable tannin. Too bad it was my first and last Opus '91, as I think this has about three more years of life before it starts downhill.
