Description

The opaque purple-hued 2005 exhibits an extraordinary nose of violets, creme de cassis, charcoal, and spring flowers. Gorgeously pure, opulently full-bodied, with sweet tannins, superb concentration, and a low acid, ripe, tannic finish, it tastes like a top-notch vintage of ripe Bordeaux, but made in California. It can be drunk now and over the next 20-25 years. Bravo!' Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate, 95 points

Antonio Galloni - "A dark, implosive wine, the 2005 Opus One comes across as brooding and very much closed in on itself. Tar, graphite, menthol, licorice and plums inform the powerful, structured finish. This is the most massive, tannic Opus One in recent memory. The blend is 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot, 3% Cabernet Franc and 1% Malbec.
Range: 93+ Points"

Recent Cellartracker notes:

10/5/2016 - ROCKNROLLER WROTE: 94 points
Very dark red/purple color. Decanted for 1 hour. Drank 2+ glasses over 2 hours plus. 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot, 3% Cabernet Franc and 1% Malbec. Impressive. This was nicely put together and a classy drink. The nose has lovely fruits, bright cassis, black raspberry, and hints of blue fruits, a minty, menthol-like quality. The palate is texturally very suave and elegant, nothing overt or dominating, a medium full bodied wine with pristine fruits, cassis, creme de cassis, darker red berries, mint, fresh herbs, very sleek integrating tannins and long finish. Very polished. Drinking just great and certainly has legs to last.

5/15/2016 - TMVEDELAGO LIKES THIS WINE: 96 points
Rich, heavy wine with a multiple levels of complexity. Notes of dried fruits, firm tannin structure leaving a very pleasant aftertaste. A great wine to share with friends.
