2011 Opus One Napa Valley
Vinous
94 Points
The 2011 Opus One comes across as quite powerful and intense. Raspberry jam, rose petals, savory herbs and mint, all come together beautifully in the glass. The tannins are going to need a few years to soften, but the 2011 continues to develop very nicely in bottle. This is a very strong showing, especially within the context of the year. The 2011 is dark and even a bit rough around the edges, particularly when tasted alongside the surrounding vintages. The lithe, mid-weight, savory sale is at times more Old World than New, yet all the elements are in the right place. Drinking window: 2019-2033. Antonio Galloni September 2014
