Opus One vintage 1994
Robert Mondavi / Rothschild Napa Valley
92/100 Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate December
1997
Lying in Hong-Kong
6 bottles in original wooden case
Tasting Note: “This is an impressive effort from Opus
One. The wine, a blend of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2%
Cabernet Franc, 2% Merlot, and 1% Malbec, possesses a
dark ruby/purple colour, followed by a generous, complex
nose of lead pencil, toasty oak, violets, and black currants.
In the mouth, there is a beautiful texture, soft, generous,
low acid, full-bodied richness, and a stunningly
proportioned, rich, intense finish. The influence of 18
months in new French oak casks gives the wine a subtle
oaky note in addition to giving it excellent delineation.
Because of the wine´s softness and generosity, it can be
drunk now as well as over the next 18-20 years.”
