2017 Opus One Robert Mondavi & Baron Philippe De Rothschild 2 x 75cl / 14%

This lot contains two bottles of 2017 Opus One from Napa Valley, California, produced and bottled by Robert Mondavi and Baron Philippe de Rothschild. These come in a leather (or leather style) CavesMaitre two bottle presentation box with a waiters friend.

'Opus One had picked 91% of their fruit before the fires started in 2017, and only two lots were eliminated from consideration. The 2017 Opus One, bottled in July 2019, is a blend of 81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8.5% Petit Verdot, 5% Cabernet Franc, 4.5% Merlot and 1% Malbec. Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, it slowly grows on the nose, revealing compelling notes of baked black cherries, mulberries, black raspberries, warm cassis and blackberry pie with nuances of spice cake, yeast extract, tapenade, licorice and dusty soil with a waft of wild sage. Medium-bodied, the palate has a lively skip in its step, featuring bags of juicy raspberry and cassis-laced fruit and a refreshing line, supported by ripe, plush tannins, finishing long and graceful. Drink 2021-2036. 95/100' Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, Wine Advocate, 2019
